Brief summary / description

EU JULE raises awareness of legal rights, helps people to invoke those rights in practice, and improves the availability of pragmatic legal advice, assistance and, when needed, representation. 

The project will address both the demand-side as well as supply-side constrains in the justice sector by building the capacity of civil society and of Government institutions at central and provincial level.

The project consists of two components: Pillar Assessed Grant or Delegation Agreement (PAGoDA) and Justice Initiatives Facilitation Fund (JIFF).

Expected results

1) Increased public awareness and understanding of rights and how to invoke those rights.

2) Increased access to legal advice, assistance and representation in both civil and criminal matters.

3) Improved enabling legislative and regulatory framework for legal empowerment and access to justice.

4) Enhanced integrity and transparency in the justice sector.
