dbo:abstract
  • Africa Justice Foundation (AJF) is a UK-registered charity established by three British barristers, Cherie Blair CBE (Cherie Booth QC), Philip Riches and Suella Fernandes in 2010. AJF works to build robust, stable, and predictable legal systems across sub-Saharan Africa with projects in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya. Cherie Blair has argued that a strong and reliable legal system is crucial for emerging economies to thrive – economically, politically and socially. AJF’s programmes focus on four pillars: promoting open access to legal information; providing access to justice; improving the quality of legislation; and training in commercial legal skills, across the continent. AJF previously provided postgraduate scholarships for over twenty legislative drafters from Sierra Leone, Ghana, Ethiopia and Rwanda. AJF advocates for a role for the Rule of Law in the post-2015 development agenda, and has petitioned the President of the United Nations General Assembly on this issue together with Advocates for International Development. This initiative has been endorsed by the Business Council for Africa among others. (en)
