"Since the collapse of communism in 1989, most developing and post- Soviet countries have been committed to establishing sustainable market economies. However, the majority of their people --4 billion, mostly poor-- do not have the legal tools to have a stake and participate in the market, and therefore are confined to what the ILD calls the 'extralegal economy'."
Our Mission:
"To provide governments with the technical assistance --and the local capacity-- to furnish all their citizens with the crucial legal tools to gain access to the market and thus pull themselves out of poverty: inclusive property systems to hold and leverage their assets, legal forms to organize their businesses, devices to identify themselves and operate in expanded markets."
