Knowledge-sharing as common ground
The meeting with Dr Pulchérie Amougui, Dean of the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the Catholic University of Central Africa, opened dialogue on links between OHADA and the university. The account describes an exploration of a cooperation framework supporting research.
For Mayatta Ndiaye Mbaye, this discussion extends a career in which teaching and institutional responsibilities reinforce one another. The dialogue also concerned students’ access to legal knowledge.
Resources and practical prospects
The Dean raised initiatives for students in business law, litigation, arbitration and taxation. Prospects for OHADA’s involvement in an Academic Excellence Day and Careers Days were also discussed.
The Permanent Secretary highlighted the importance of promoting business law within the university community. He drew attention to OHADA’s documentation centres for students and the possible involvement of ERSUMA, given its training and capacity-building mandate.
Cooperation to be developed
Both institutions expressed their intention to continue consultations towards a cooperation agreement. The meeting was a stage in the dialogue, not the signing of a concluded partnership.
Its value lies in connecting research, documentary resources and training needs. It gives the Professor’s institutional engagement a practical academic dimension, attentive to future legal professionals.
