ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM
ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM
The Liberia Health–Climate Resilience Consortium is a non-governmental, non-political, and not-for-profit corporation established by ten non-governmental and civil society organizations.
The Consortium provides a collaborative platform through which member organizations can coordinate initiatives, exchange knowledge, mobilize resources, develop partnerships, and implement activities that advance shared development objectives.
We recognize that complex community challenges cannot be addressed effectively by individual organizations working in isolation.
Our approach therefore emphasizes collective action, institutional collaboration, community participation, and responsible resource use.
LiH-CRON's headquarters will be in Monrovia, Liberia, with the possibility of establishing sub-offices elsewhere to support its operations.
