Publisher

School for Law and Development (SLD) provides multi-sectoral, interdisciplinary consultancy services and policy advice for Legislative Drafting, Social & Legal Research, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Corporate Social Responsibility.

SLD brings together Legal Experts, Academicians, Professional Trainers, and Dispute Resolution Experts from different parts of the country and abroad to provide a range of diversified services for Human and Institutional Development.

Experts at the SLD strongly believe that there is a relationship between law and development. Even with all of its different manifestations and meanings, development is almost impossible without the intervention of law. They have knowledge and expertise in the fields of law and development and their intersections. This makes it possible for the SLD team to support individuals and organizations conceptualising policy and legislation that aligns with the principles of sustainable and responsible development.
