Before 2018, CLEC programs supported vulnerable communities, workers and their unions by combining legal awareness, trainings, legal aid services, and advocacy aiming to empower them to legally assert their rights, mainly to labor, land and natural resources. Its trainings were designed for a wide range of target groups including local communities, NGOs and government officials. CLEC had been involved in advocating a number of significant law reform issues including the 2001 Land Law, the sub-decree on indigenous communal land titling, establishment of the Arbitration Council, the election dispute resolution process, the draft Peaceful Demonstration Law, and commentary and review of numerous pieces of legislation. Since 2004, CLEC has also embarked on a major project of high impact public interest legal advocacy, particularly in the areas of land and natural resources.
