RISE is founded by a network of highly experienced Liberian professionals who have served with international development institutions including the European Union (EU), World Bank, United Nations, UNDP, and key government ministries and agencies.

The organization focuses on empowering citizens, supporting institutions, and catalysing policy and behaviour change to ensure long-term environmental sustainability and inclusive growth.
