CALR - Centre for Applied Legal Research

Centre for Applied Legal Research (CALR) is a research institution that provides evidence based research and legal advisory services on various legal issues.Its work revolves around two thematic areas, namely: (a) Law, Economics and Science; and (b) Law, Democracy and Governance.

Since its humble beginnings in 2010, CALR has worked with a variety of governments, developmental partners and civil society organizations, private corporations in diverse sectors including: trade and investment; public health; water and sanitation; agriculture; forestry; electoral systems; and media. In addition to that, CALR has also worked with private entities offering legal advice on regulatory compliance issues.
