SMEs and the Rule of Law in Africa: Legal Developments, Regulatory Challenges and and Prospective Solutions

Drawing on the experience of government representatives and international organisations, entrepreneurs, international investors, the legal profession and representatives of the judiciaries, the conference will discuss the vital role of the Rule of Law in the development of Africa’s Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector. Specifically, the conference will seek to identify the legal and regulatory obstacles that constrain African SMEs, and highlight practical solutions to addressing these.

Toni Weiss, Program Officer for Africa at the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), will lead a panel discussion titled "Where Next? Making it Work for SMEs in Africa." Panelists will examine the most effective approaches for developing the legal and regulatory framework for SMEs in Africa. The panel will highlight good practice initiatives, practical approaches, and existing or proposed policies

The event is free, but registration is required.
