Commercial law strengthening project is a two year regional
program (2008-2010) that is being implemented in Lebanon,
Tunisia, Yemen and UAE, by the Arab Center for the Rule of
Law and Integrity (ACRLI) in cooperation with the
middle east
partnership initiative (MEPI).
The
project aimed at raising awareness on key commercial legal
issues and its effects on economic growth, as well as
building capacity to increase efficient and effective
utilization of commercial dispute resolution mechanisms.
The project also includes supporting private-sector
participations in policy-making and strengthening
public-private networking and partnerships to support
commercial law reform.
The
project primarily targets members of the legal community
(lawyers, judges, and academicians), business leaders and
professional associations & syndicates in view of actively
involving them with policymakers and concerned government
practitioners in a result-oriented policy dialogue.
