How does Legal Empowerment plan to work on the issue of legal empowerment of the poor?
The Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor will begin by compiling an inventory of lessons learned from those governments that have sought to extend legal protection to the informal sector. This on-the-ground research will help guide Legal Empowerment’s work. Among the other tasks the group intends to pursue are generating political support for broad reforms that will ensure the legal inclusion and empowerment for the poor; exploring a range of interventions and reforms that should complement and underpin the broadening of access to property rights in order to expand real inclusion and opportunity; examining which types of structures can best promote economic growth; identifying ways to support other development approaches; and producing a comprehensive set of practical, adaptable tools that will guide policymakers’ reform efforts at the country level.
