African Legal Support Facility (ALSF)
The ALSF’s unique mandate focuses on providing practical, “hands-on” support during the negotiation of contractual arrangements between governments and investors. The ALSF empowers governments with the necessary knowledge and resources to ensure balanced, fair and equitable outcomes, to ultimately improve good governance and environmental and social stewardship.
The African Legal Support Facility is an international organization hosted by the African Development Bank in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. It was established on 22 December 2008 by the African Development Bank Group, at the request of African countries, and became operational in 2010.
