International Law Institute - African Centre for Legal Excellence (ILI - ACLE) based in Kampala, Uganda, is at the forefront of legal and judicial reform in sub-Saharan Africa.
Through an arrangement with the Government of Uganda and World Bank support, ILI established its first regional training centre in Kampala, Uganda in 1997 to provide continuing legal education in subjects broadly related to economic development and international commercial relations. ILI-ACLE was then formed in 1998 as an independent self-governing non-governmental organization under the laws of the Republic of Uganda. It is the first and only centre of its kind on the African continent.
