About Us

We are a group of Internet enthusiasts, including Internet users, professionals, actors and stakeholders, who are concerned about the Development of Internet in Liberia.

Internet Society Liberia Chapter was conceived as a Chapter by a group of Liberians Internet enthusiasts, who are convinced that the Internet is a valuable development tool for Liberia and there is an urgent need to promote its use in all areas of life (social, educational, economic and cultural) in Liberia, to keep pace with the global community

The Chapter is therefore committed to the development, use and open access to the Internet in Liberia.

The overall purpose of the Chapter is to promote, in a global context, the open development, evolution and use of the Internet for the benefit of everyone in Liberia.
