CLDP is the only U.S. agency dedicated to providing legal and regulatory technical assistance to ensure energy security and expand mineral supply chains supporting domestic growth. Supported under multiple initiatives of the U.S. Department of State and USAID, CLDP leverages the expertise of its lawyers and subject matter experts to assist countries in reforming their policies, laws, regulations, model contracts, and guidelines with respect to investments into their power, energy, and mining / processing sectors.  As a result of this technical assistance in energy and minerals, countries are better prepared to seek out and receive US and allied investments that builds out mineral production into domestic supply chains; collaborate on US-led initiatives; adopt standards that require sustainable investment in line with US and allied practices; expand energy production to meet an agenda of abundance; expand market access on a level playing field; and avoid uncompetitive schemes that increase their countries’ dependence on unreliable actors.
