Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: R1 asks for the qualifying activity, but the value gives only the category and fee, and the residual admits the activity is not cited; C1 stops before 'interns and volunteers', so the cited text does not show that this route falls under Category F.)

What organisation, institution, religious body, charity, teacher or host must support the activity?

The host or organisation must be the Government of Liberia or an educational or health care institution. The official source does not state any additional host requirements for this route.
