Justice, security and conflict resolution

 

We believe that the rule of law, access to justice and conflict resolution frameworks are fundamental to human security and the development of stable, democratic states in which all citizens’ voices can be heard and economic opportunities can be realised.  Find out about our programmes in this area.

 

Rule of Law

We help societies strengthen the rule of law and its institutions including the police, courts and prisons, making communities safer through providing more equitable and fair services for all.  Our activities include police reform and development, community policing and delivering model police stations and management training.

 

Access to justice

We work to make justice accessible to everyone in society, particularly the poor and marginalised. We do this through legislative and policy reform, legal aid, mediation, paralegal services, cross-sector coordination and collaboration with civil society organisations.

 

Conflict prevention and resolution

We help societies address and resolve conflict by strengthening existing mechanisms, encouraging dialogue as a means of community cohesion and supporting the voice of women, girls and vulnerable groups in building peace.

 

Pro-poor economic growth

We facilitate private sector, pro-poor growth by reforming the legal and regulatory environment for businesses and strengthening anti-corruption institutions.
