The African Legal Support Facility (ALSF) is entering a new era with the appointment of Akere Muna as its Goodwill Ambassador. This marks a significant milestone for the institution, as Mr. Muna brings with him a wealth of experience and a strong commitment to transparency and fighting corruption.

As a renowned lawyer and activist, Mr. Muna will play a key role in promoting economic justice and equity in international contracts across Africa. His appointment is expected to inspire other leaders on the continent to support the ALSF in its mission to build legal capacity and support African countries in complex negotiations.

Established in 2008 with the support of the African Development Bank, the ALSF has already made a significant impact on the continent. With over 300 projects supported and more than 12,500 professionals trained, the ALSF has played a crucial role in leveling the legal playing field for African nations.

Under its ambitious Medium-Term Strategy 2023-2027, the ALSF is expanding its activities to deepen its impact and support African countries in managing their sovereign debt and natural resources. The extension of the organization’s term until 2036 reflects its commitment to intensifying its support and broadening its impact on the continent.

With Mr. Muna’s appointment, the ALSF is poised to further amplify its action and visibility on the international stage. His expertise, network, and commitment to good governance will undoubtedly strengthen the ALSF’s ability to accomplish its unique mandate and benefit its beneficiaries and partners.

In accepting the challenge, Mr. Muna expressed his readiness to tackle the task with commitment and rigor, emphasizing the importance of unity and solidarity in protecting Africa’s legal interests. With his leadership and the continued support of the ALSF, significant progress is expected in advancing economic justice and transparency across the continent.
