This dissertation evaluates the Organization for the Harmonisation of Business Law in Africa (OHADA) in relation to the informal sector in West Africa. The paper also considers the challenges to successful legal reform arising from the interaction of African cultural and social values with imposed formal law. Means to improve links between OHADA formal laws and institutions to the realities of the majority of Africans living and operating in the informal sector are suggested. These topics are explored within a thematic context of desiring to enhance the development prospects for the people in the region.
