The African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) is helping the Tunisian Stolen Asset Recovery Committee to build capacity, following an agreement signed on 10 June 2011 during the Annual Meetings of the AfDB Group in Lisbon, Portugal.

The African Legal Services Facility (ALSF) and the Pan-African Lawyers Union (PALU) seminar on reinforcing capacity in international commercial disputes resolutions in the Northern Africa region opened today in Tunis. Opened by the African Development Bank’s Vice-President for Finance, Charles Boamah, on behalf of the President, the meeting is focusing on African Development Bank’s financial architecture as well as legal aspects of financing infrastructure projects from multilateral development banks’ perspective.

Thursday 26 January was the second day of a two-day capacity building seminar organised by the African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) and the Pan-African Lawyers Union (PALU) in Tunis. Its aim was to familiarise North African lawyers with the African Development Bank’s different organs and activities and offer them a better understanding of the institution’s legal requirements in financing infrastructure projects.
