From 6 to 8 November 2024, Riaba town (Republic of Equatorial Guinea) hosted an awareness-raising seminar on the innovations contained in the OHADA Uniform Acts. This event brought together practitioners from various professions (Judicial and Legal Officers, Lawyers, Notaries public, Court registrars, Bank Legal Officers, etc.) to discuss several innovative legal provisions of the Uniform Acts, with the aim of substantially improving their professional practice and the credit environment.
The opening and closing sessions were attended by Mr Don Reginaldo BIYOGO MBA NDONG ANGUESOMO, Minister of Justice, Worship and Human Rights of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. As part of the ongoing effort to promote multilingualism, which had already led to the organization of two seminars in English language in Bafoussam (14-16 October 2024) and Douala (23-25 October 2024), the Riaba session was held in Spanish. Among other teaching aids, participants all received the Practical Guide to Arbitration and the Practical Guide to Mediation, designed in question-and-answer format and translated into Spanish.
Organized by the OHADA Permanent Secretariat with the financial support of the European Union under the Programme to Support Regional Integration and Investment in Central Africa (PAIRIAC), the Riaba seminar is the latest in a series of scientific events that encompass all the CEMAC Member States as well as the Democratic Republic of Congo and reach over one thousand (1 000) stakeholders.
The Permanent Secretary takes this opportunity to call for even greater mobilization of the Technical and Financial Partners, as well as all friends of OHADA, around the continued popularization and appropriation of African uniform business law.
