Established in 2001, with the express purpose of furthering human development by widening and equalising access to quality education and training and through capacity building programmes.

All the Faculty staff have proven experience of working in academia and management at national, regional and international levels.

The ComFRALS evolved out of an earlier ground-breaking project called 'Law and Development Research (LDR)', initiated in 1993, with the object of promoting African Scholarship.

At The ComFRALS we recognise that education is a lifelong process and that human talent should not be allowed to waste. For this reason our educational programmes encourage and make provision for those who missed the opportunity as well as those who would like to retrain and re-qualify, particularly in the legal and management fields.

At the institutional level our programmes are designed to encourage efficiency, good governance and best practice. We endeavour to bring talented people of all cultures together in order to explore new frontiers of knowledge and to assist development. We work in partnership with universities, business organisations, governments and individuals world-wide.

The ComFRALS is an institution with neither walls nor barriers.

Those who share a kindred spirit with the Faculty and feel committed to its ideals are encouraged to join. Such individuals will be counted upon to provide both intellectual and institutional inspiration and creativity. To those who think they can benefit educationally and professionally by associating with The ComFRALS, we extend a very cordial welcome.
