1 African Law Library and Governance An Innovative access to law About the African Innovation Foundation Elodie de Warlincourt, Foundation Director and Member of the Management Team Pauline Mujawamariya, Programme Director, Innovation Prize for Africa and Member of the Management Team Sophie Bussmann, Programme Director, African Law Library and Member of the Management Team Context The African Innovation Foundation (AIF) is a Swiss registered Foundation that helps mobilize innovation supporting sustainable development in Africa. AIF s areas of activity encompass innovative programmes in the fields of access to technologies, law and governance, education, culture and health. The Foundation seeks to establish cooperation platforms for institutions, investors and innovators and to promote ideas to support them. Despite its many challenges, Africa s average GDP growth at around 5 percent has topped the global average over the past decade, demonstrating the continent s greater than expected resilience during the global economic crisis. This regional growth has brought about a major shift in economic and governance models that are actively contributing to shaping this growth. AIF also promotes transparent processes and procedures within the public sector and combats illegitimate appropriation and dissipation of resources within both the private and public domains. An Executive Committee holds responsibility for the overall management of the Foundation. It is composed of: Walter Fust, Chairman of the Board Jean Claude Bastos de Morais, Founder and Board Member
2 FREE ONLINE LIBRARY ON AFRICAN LAW AND GOVERNANCE While most economic outlook reports show a broadly positive near future for the world s second fastest-growing region, the rule of law, including customary law, is essential to the economic development of the African continent. In the meantime, access to law is the cornerstone for the creation of a conducive environment in which wider development efforts can take root and flourish for social cohesion, political stability and sustainable development. The African Law Library (ALL) is a flagship programme of the African Innovation Foundation and it purpose is to facilitate access to law in Africa.

3 Our Partners The growing partners base of the ALL programme demonstrates the importance of the initiative for the continent as well as the trust placed in the African Innovation Foundation. Since October 2012 the ALL team has conducted outreach trips across Africa to build constructive partnerships and promote its activities on the continent. Agreements concluded with the various partners allow access to a comprehensive collection of legislation, law reports, court decisions and legal doctrine, and other relevant legal texts pertaining to African countries for the use in the Foundation s online African Law Library. Proud of the confidence shown by the growing partner network, which demonstrates the importance of the initiative, AIF confirms its pan-africanism as the ALL programme enters its implementation phase II.
