Guinea-Bissau - Project to support the institutional capacity building of the justice sector

This intervention concerns the Support Project for the Institutional Capacity Building of the Justice Sector. It is expected to strengthen the judicial system in Guinea-Bissau and improve access to justice, particularly for women and the poor. The project aims to promote national ownership, stability, rule of law, public security and the reintegration of ex-combatants. The project is articulated around the following components: (i) support for the updating of the needs assessment for institutional and human capacity building of the justice system, and (ii) support for the development and implementation of a national programme for strengthening the institutional and human capacity of the justice system (main structures, auxiliaries to justice, NGOs active in access to justice and local communities); and (iii) coordination and monitoring-evaluation of the project.
