The vast majority of the word's people lives outside the law and thus does not have a chance to better their lives and climb out of poverty. This causes national and global stagnation. The remedy for the exclusion is inclusion through Legal Empowerment of the Poor which is important economically, politically, socially, and morally. The Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor (2005) was the first global initiative to focus on the link between exclusion, poverty, and the law, and was hosted by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in New York. This first report of the Commission covers the following topics: making the law work for everyone; the four pillars of legal empowerment; legal empowerment is smart politics and good economics; agenda for change; and implementation strategies. The report is based on research, analysis and consultations in more than 20 developing countries, and encourages debates and discussions towards realization of Millennium Development Goals.--Publisher's description.

This book seeks to be relevant to the call to address inequalities, injustice, human rights, and social exclusion in a more integrated, holistic, and transformative manner. It seeks to do so by looking at what we have learned in both the development and human rights communities. Further, it addresses fundamental obstacles that neither community has dealt with in this context, such as changing power relations. The book builds on the report of the Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor entitled Making the Law Work for Everyone and draws from a wide range of published literature on relevant issues not covered in the report. Calls for holistic and transformative approaches are familiar in development circles, but putting these approaches into practice require a knowledge base beyond that covered in the traditional development literature. The book brings together this diverse literature in one place at a time when the international community is about to embark on a new era of development cooperation commonly referred to as the post-2015 agenda. The subjects covered therefore include a review of successful and unsuccessful approaches to reducing poverty and inequality; life in slums; the informal sector where the majority of the poor live; the legal empowerment of the poor; changing power relations between the haves and the have-nots; and the holistic, sustainable-livelihoods approach, in the development of which, the author has played a lead role.

Despite providing society with a set of crucial services, large groups of workers in the informal economy are subject to exclusion and discrimination, and their lives are characterised by various types of vulnerabilities and deprivations that result from the denial of social, economic, political and legal protection. Although not new to the development vocabulary, the informal economy has received renewed attention in recent years largely due to the ILO's 'decent work' agenda and various efforts to promote 'legal empowerment of the poor'. With an explicit focus on labour rights, the book focuses on a nuanced understanding of the regulatory and operational challenges and dilemmas related to implementing the two approaches in selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition to analyzing structures and relations of power between the formal and the informal economies, the book critically discusses the work of governments, civil society organizations and the poor themselves to address the daily challenges of living in the informal economy.

The Commission for the Legal Empowerment of the Poor, chaired by Madeleine Albright and Hernando de Soto, released in 2008 a comprehensive Report on Legal Empowerment of the Poor (LEP). The Commission was launched in 2005 by a group of developing and developed countries, including Canada. Following the Report, the United Nations General Assembly acknowledged the importance of LEP in terms of its poverty eradication goals and initiatives. An important emphasis of the LEP Commission Report is that over 4 billion people are “robbed of the chance to better their lives and climb out of poverty, because they are excluded from the rule of law.” LEP, conceptualized broadly in terms of access to justice, property rights, labor rights and business rights, can provide opportunities for those living in poverty to improve their quality of life and secure more sustainable development.This Legal Discussion Paper sets out, mainly in a descriptive manner, a conceptual context for a Canadian Dialogue on LEP, as a background paper for a discussion on the most promising ways in which Canadian stakeholders can engage with the LEP agenda internationally. After this short introduction, the second part of this Legal Discussion Paper presents a brief overview of 2008 LEP Commission Report, emphasizing its background, framework and agenda for implementation. The third part of the Legal Discussion Paper presents a few brief case studies of how LEP can also help to address global emerging challenges that are significantly undermining sustainable development in selected sectors, such as Health, HIV & Legal Empowerment, Green Economy, Access to Climate Finance & Legal Empowerment, and Agriculture, Land Rights & Legal Empowerment. These case studies are meant to serve as examples of how LEP can be operationalized as a useful and effective tool in a variety of development endeavors. The fourth part of Legal Discussion Paper addresses, by simply raising a few initial thoughts for discussion, two sets of key issues for Canadian policy leaders, legal scholars and practitioners that are interested in advancing a Canadian agenda in promoting LEP for sustainable livelihoods.

The challenge of urban deprivation and exclusion in the urban South has given rise to varied and shifting policies and ideas. Two sets of ideas have gained great currency in recent years in international policy and academic circles. The Legal Empowerment of the Poor approach, rooted in neoliberal thinking, focuses on the legal rights of the urban poor as the means to secure access to basic services and needs. The Right to the City perspective, on the other hand, stresses issues of citizenship and the appropriation and uses of urban space. This Policy Dialogue analyses the different ideological and normative foundations of the two perspectives and discusses how they lead to different policy formulations. It then takes a closer look at how the two perspectives find expression in contemporary discussions on and approaches to access to housing in urban Africa. To this end, it compares what each approach identifies as the source of the problem and recommends as the policy solution.

Annotation How law can aid development has been the focus of much recent discussion among development workers, scholars and policy makers. Indeed, reforms to improve poor people's access to justice and to promote their legal empowerment comprise the latest trend in legal development cooperation. This volume answers a number of basic questions about this new trend, such as access to justice and legal empowerment entail and its importance; the obstacles the poor and marginalised face in seeking justice and empowerment through the legal system; and the reforms proposed by these approaches to legal development co-operation. Furthermore, it outlines important considerations for policymakers concerning access to justice and legal empowerment reforms.
