Latin America Solidarity Organisation in Norway

The Latin America Solidarity Organisation in Norway, known in Norwegian as Latin-Amerikagruppene i Norge and commonly abbreviated LAG, is a Norwegian solidarity organization focused on Latin America. Its work is associated with projects and engagement involving countries and communities in the region, while its organizational base and public identity are located in Norway. The group originated in Oslo under the name Latin America Groups in Oslo, or Latin-Amerikagruppene i Oslo. It was founded by Ivar Hippe, Nili Deloya, and Mette Hjelmark. The organization subsequently became known as Latin America Groups in Norway, reflecting a broader national scope. Available reference material provides limited detail about its exact founding year, internal structure, funding, current leadership, program portfolio, and geographic reach. It is therefore best understood as a civil-society solidarity organization rather than a commercial brand or corporate enterprise. Its activities are connected to international solidarity and project work relating to Latin America, but specific campaigns, partner organizations, products, and measurable outcomes are not documented in the supplied sources. The organization maintains a website at lagnorge.no, which serves as its principal public reference point. No reliable information in the supplied material establishes a parent company, commercial owner, stock-market listing, or corporate group affiliation.
