Access to Justice Project (A2JP)
(Liberia): .The Liberia Access to Justice Project (A2JP) provides dispute resolution services for and advocates for the rights of historically marginalized citizens. Specifically, A2JP has three objectives: 1) Providing effective legal information and dispute resolution services at the community level; 2) Strengthening the capacity of traditional leaders, women, and youth to promote access to justice and resolve community disputes consistent with the rule of law; and 3) Establishing a policy framework to increase access to justice at the community level. Using FY 2017 funds, A2JP will provide training and mentoring of national and customary leaders on the rule of law to strengthen their capacity to resolve disputes. A2JP will also provide expanded engagement to advance policy reform efforts, particularly on issues related to alternative dispute resolution. Further, A2JP will provide peace messaging supporting a non-violent transition for the newly elected administration..
Objectives for Liberia: Current Activities: Training and deployment of 55 Community Justice Advisors to over 470 communities in eight counties to help provide free legal information and dispute resolution services.; Capacity strengthening for the National Council of Chiefs and Elders to engage in national dispute resolution and policy dialogue.; Promoting sound public policy on legal aid, including the role of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and paralegals in the legal system.
