Current Programmes
Owing to the urgent need for the justice sector to shift more to incorporating people centred services, JRI is re designing its institutional and intellectual support and services to justice sector stakeholders to enhance their institutional and personnel capabilities to deliver on these services.
The emerging world orders calls for a more expansive view of access to justice, which must include much more than a person’s ability to access the courts and legal representation, but a person’s ability to access people- centred justice services, which prioritises the needs, rights and wellbeing of an individual.
The current programmes are designed to enhance the capabilities of duty-bearers, foster a more informed population and put in place effective diagnostic and referral system to ensure citizens particularly vulnerable and marginalised groups can overcome a range of barriers to accessing legal services for the redress of rights violations.
