By Decree No. 26-116\/PR of 9 November 2026, the President of the Union of the Comoros, His Excellency Assoumani AZALI, revised the mandate, organisation and operation of the OHADA National Commission (CN\/OHADA), pursuant to Regulation No. 02\/CM\/OHADA of 12 September 2025 on the mandate, organisation and operation of OHADA National Commissions.<\/p>\n
The new Decree, which repeals Decree No. 12-125\/PR of 29 May 2012, strengthens the Commission’s role as OHADA’s national focal point and as a forum for consultation, coordination and monitoring of matters relating to the harmonisation of business law. The Commission enjoys administrative and financial autonomy and is placed under the joint supervision of the ministries responsible for Justice and Finance.<\/p>\n
In addition, the National Commission, in liaison with the OHADA Permanent Secretariat, is responsible for processing, implementing and monitoring instruments and decisions relating to the harmonisation of business law. The Decree clarifies and reinforces its responsibilities, particularly with regard to contributing to the law-making process, promoting and disseminating OHADA law, and monitoring its implementation throughout the national territory.<\/p>\n
As regards its composition, the OHADA National Commission brings together representatives of the various stakeholders involved in improving the business climate, drawn in particular from the public and private sectors and from professional bodies concerned with business law. Its membership has been broadened to include, among others, the relevant public administrations, judicial and legal professions, financial institutions, investment promotion agencies and the University of the Comoros. This broader representation is intended to foster inclusive consultation and effective coordination among national stakeholders involved in the implementation of harmonised business law.<\/p>\n
The Commission’s organisation and operation are based on two bodies: a General Assembly, which serves as its deliberative body and is responsible for setting its broad policy directions and approving its annual programme of activities; and a Bureau, which serves as its executive body and is responsible for coordinating the Commission’s activities. The Decree also provides for permanent administrative staff tasked with assisting the Bureau and ensuring the Commission’s day-to-day operations.<\/p>\n
Through this reform, the Union of the Comoros is aligning its institutional framework with the applicable OHADA regulatory provisions and strengthening its national mechanism for coordinating, promoting and monitoring the implementation of OHADA law. This development reaffirms the essential role played by National Commissions in fostering national ownership of, and ensuring the effective implementation of, harmonised business law across OHADA Member States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
