CLDP serves as a key implementer for the U.S. Department of State in its global initiatives for energy technical assistance, such as the Energy and Minerals Governance Program (EMGP), Power Sector Program (PSP), and USAID's Power Africa initiative. Through these global initiatives, CLDP, together with other U.S. government agencies and implementers, leverages its lawyers and experts to work on a government-to-government basis with foreign ministries, regulators, and state-owned entities to improve policies, laws, regulations, model contracts, enacted regulations in the oil, gas, and energy sectors to facilitate transparent and competitive business practices, and improve the regulatory climate for mineral investment. CLDP’s worldwide technical assistance includes assessments, detailed review and gap analysis of existing legislative and regulatory frameworks, advisory support for redrafting or amending frameworks, modeling and planning tools, knowledge-sharing workshops, and guided discussion with industry roundtables and trade groups.
