Improving access to independent, effective, transparent and equitable justice by strengthening capacity of all national justice system actors through professional education, decentralizing the formal justice system, strengthening of the prosecution service system to effectively deliver criminal justice, strengthening the capacity of corrections services to uphold public safety and security, and through improved legal awareness, legal aid, and dispute resolution through formal and informal mechanisms.
Legat Training Centre has evolved into a professional training centre that caters to the capacity development needs of all actors in the justice system. Up to now, 51 among judges, prosecutors and public defenders have been sworn in. National and international justice actors (supported by the programme) have been deployed to all the district justice offices on a full time basis. Investigations techniques within the Prosecutor General Office have improved and the backlog of cases has been reduced. An Integrated Information Management System has been established to track flow of cases among different justice institutions. With the programme's support the Justice Sector Strategic Plan for the period 2011-2030 has been formulated and currently being implemented. Synergies between formal and informal justice systems have been strengthened and relevant interventions aiming at ensuring access to the formal justice system to all citizens have been formulated. Relevant legal awareness campaigns have been conducted.
