EU - Governance in Justice Programme

EU - Governance in Justice Programme We aim to achieve this by working on four interconnected areas, which you can learn about below.

1. Justice Sector Coordination
2.

The European Union Governance in Justice (EU-GOJUST) Programme supports government and non-government partners in reforming policy and practice to make justice service delivery in the Philippines responsive, accessible, and people-centered. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ GOJUST specifically aims to develop more responsive and accountable justice services in the country, with a particular focus on those who are most vulnerable, including women, LGBTI, persons with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and other excluded groups. The programme has a two-pronged approach to strengthening access to justice in the Philippines by combining improvements in the administration of justice and enhancing the promotion and protection of human rights. We work closely with local communities as well as with the Philippine Supreme Court, the Department of Justice, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government - to improve access to justice for all. Strengthening Institutional Efficiency and Effectiveness
3. Increasing Access to the Justice System for Vulnerable Groups
4. Justice Policy and Practice is Informed by Evidence

The programme is implemented through technical assistance by the British Council and logistical and grant management support from the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).
