The Commission on Legal Empowerment of the Poor aims to make legal protection and economic opportunity not the privilege of the few but the right of all. This publication consists of the outcomes of five working groups which were created to inform the Commissions deliberations through substantive work in the following thematic areas: access to justice and rule of law, property rights, labour rights, and business rights. The last chapter, road maps for implementation of reforms, combines all findings of the work into a toolkit for policymakers in proposing reforms and measuring results.
