Get to know us

Founded in July 2015, FREE Liberia is a registered and accredited NGO that promotes and stimulates meaningful evidence-based solutions for long-lasting impact. Comprised of innovative researchers, academicians, and professionals in Liberia and abroad, FREE Liberia conducts systematic research to inform interventions of public and private institutions and individuals. We utilize the power of empirical research to foster quality education and empowerment opportunities to ensure life-long positive societal transformation and development.

Our intention is to foster efficiency and productivity at regional, national, institutional and individual levels through evidence-driven interventions as well as to empower vulnerable people to maximize their full potential. We hope to bridge the research gap in Africa, especially in Liberia by establishing think-tanks and academic journals to promote and make scholarly literature available at minimum or no cost.

Strategic Objectives

  1. Explore education, socio-economic, gender, governance and related issues and advance implementable recommendations to promote evidence-based decision-making and interventions.
  2. Support and strengthen public and private entities through research related agendas, such as surveys, baseline and case studies, experiments, capacity assessment, impact assessment and evaluation, gap and data analyses, M & E, etc.
  3. Offer quality support services to relevant institutions, encompassing strategic planning, capacity development and training, system strengthening, employees’ motivation, performance appraisal, proposal writing, corporate report editing, and image-building.
  4. Ensure access to quality education for all by instituting necessary programs to promote access, quality and governance efforts in Liberia through training of teachers and administrators, provision of teaching and learning materials, textbooks development and other supplementary materials, and inspiring students to become champions and life-long learners.
  5. Inspire and empower all individuals, especially youth and students through quality motivational and inspirational seminars and other programs like mentorship, career guidance, counselling and psychosocial support to break barriers to personal development and success.
  6. Provide coordinated advocacy and awareness to foster democratic tenets and values of civil liberties, peace-building, good governance, gender equality, accountability, honesty, integrity, creativity, innovation, and resilience.
  7. Work with local and international NGOs, public and private institutions, likeminded individuals and philanthropists through partnerships and collaborations to promote educational, socio-economic and sustainable development and peace in Liberia and beyond.
