A4ID Learning Courses
Advocates for International Development (A4ID) is a not-for-profit organisation that acts as a bridge between the Development and Legal sectors - connecting lawyers to development organisations since 2007. Inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), A4ID's ultimate vision is to see the law and lawyers play their full role in the eradication of global poverty. Its vast global network of legal partners provide technical expertise to development organisations so they can continue doing meaningful work.
