GA, The Association of Environmental Lawyers of Liberia, is Liberia’s only not-for-profit public interest environmental law organization. GA aims to Protect the environment by campaigning for stronger legislation and monitoring the implementation of existing regulation in this area, to advance human rights by promoting sound environmental practices and upholding the claims of Liberia’s rural communities, and to empower the people of Liberia to participate in environmental decision-making through the use of education campaigns and the provision of training activities. GA is also a founding member of the Liberian Publish-What-You-Pay Coalition, Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative and the Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition.
