Country Diagnosis

The sine qua non of the ILD Program is the Diagnosis, which is primarily a fact-finding stage that focuses on determining:

  • How many of the country's citizens are excluded from the mainstream legal system (usually 70% to 90% of the population).
  • An estimate of the dead capital in the extralegal economy, typically totaling more than all foreign investment, foreign aid, and local formal investment.
  • The precise location of extralegal real estate and business assets.
  • The legal obstacles impeding access to the current system.
  • Extralegal institutions established by the poor as a result of not being able to make transactions inside the legal economy.

The Diagnosis findings are included in a "Diagnosis Report," several volumes dealing with the above issues summarized in an "Executive Summary" --and further digested into a one-page "poster" to quickly illustrate to the leaders of the client government the characteristics of the extralegal sector in his/her country.
