Organization Description |
The High Level Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor is a new independent initiative that aims to make legal protection and economic opportunity not the privilege of the few but the right of all citizens. The HLCLEP is made up of global policymakers who will pursue reforms that ensure secure tenure and enforceable property rights for the world’s poor. The HLCLEP seeks to build a dialogue with civil society and grassroots organizations to ensure the active participation of diverse voices in the development of new approaches to legal empowerment. Legal empowerment can only take root when secure land and property rights are complemented by access to justice, access to credit, and labor rights. |
