CLDP, in partnership with the Center for International Legal Education (CILE) at the University of Pittsburgh, is holding a legal writing curriculum on for teams competing in the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot (Vis Moot). The Vis Moot is a global legal competition, established by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law, to spur the practice of international commercial arbitration and build the capacity of the next generation of lawyers in the field.

On January 21, CLDP, in partnership with the United States Trade and Development Agency, will organize a live question and answer webinar on life cycle cost analysis for public-private partnerships (PPPs). The live question and answer session will take place after a pre-recorded webinar is dispersed to CLDP counterparts in Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Before a PPP agreement is reached, governments should perform a life cycle cost analysis of the potential project in order to determine project viability.
