About the association
A national association, accountable to its members.
FLAG is a registered association (e.V.) governed by its members, its constitution and an elected executive committee.
Our history
The Federation of Liberians in Germany (FLAG) was founded by Liberians living in Germany who wanted a single, organised voice for their community — a body that could welcome newly arrived families, preserve Liberian culture, and represent Liberians before German institutions and the Liberian embassy. Today the federation works through regional chapters and an elected executive committee, and is accountable to its members through the General Assembly.
Mission
To unite Liberians in Germany in a strong and caring community, to preserve and share our culture, to support members in hardship, and to represent our community with integrity before German institutions and the Liberian embassy.
Vision
An organised, transparent and financially accountable diaspora association in which every Liberian in Germany has a chapter to belong to and a voice that is heard.
Core values
Unity. Transparency. Mutual care. Cultural pride. Respect for the rule of law in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Objectives
Promote the welfare of Liberians in Germany; preserve Liberian culture and heritage; support integration and civic participation; provide emergency and bereavement assistance; foster education and professional development; maintain transparent financial stewardship; and cooperate with German authorities, the Liberian embassy and other diaspora organisations.
Structure
How the association is organised
The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body. It elects the executive committee, approves the annual financial statements and decides constitutional questions. Day-to-day work is carried by the executive committee and delivered locally by the chapters.
