The people of the Liberia IGF.

The Multistakeholder Advisory Group, the Secretariat and the committees that run the forum.

The activities of the Liberia IGF are coordinated by the Liberia Multistakeholder Advisory Group (LMAG), made up of representatives from the public and private sectors.

The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is the appointed Secretariat of the Liberia IGF. The Secretariat engages all internet stakeholders and works with them to ensure the widest participation from government, the private sector and civil society.

The MAG has 20 seats across seven stakeholder groups: government, regulator, private sector, civil society, academia, the technical community and youth. The current members are listed below by stakeholder group.
