Sidley Austin launched the Africa-Asia Agricultural Enterprise Program in 2012 to offer free legal assistance to small- and medium-sized agriculture-and aquaculture-related enterprises and smaller development NGOs in Africa and Asia, specifically enterprises that benefit poor farmers and fisherfolk.
FLC partners with Sidley to extend the Agricultural Enterprise Program to small-scale fisheries, in accordance with the Voluntary Guidelines for Security of Sustainable Small-Scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
