This project targets government officials, the judiciary, legal practitioners, academia, and the public at large, with a view to improving their access to environmental law information, through web-based databases. In this regard, the project also builds capacity for the development and maintenance of national legal databases.
The project will provide training in how to organize national environmental law information electronically through databases, keywords, and search engines. National officials will create databases containing materials on environmental law and make them accessible via the Internet. The legal databases will be maintained by national experts, using the skills developed in the training programme.
There will be 20 participating countries from Africa, with 10 of which are from English-speaking and the other 10 from French-speaking Africa. Two workshops were held, one for the Franco-phone countries and the other for the Anglo-phone countries to introduce and carry out initial training on the development, use and maintenance of the legal databases.
