Improve the systems, capacity, and sustainability of civil and criminal justice sector and institutions, improve the ability and skills of justice sector actors, enhance coordination amongst them where appropriate (includes harmonization of policies, procedures, and systems, and public/private partnerships relating to both criminal and civil law). Justice sector actors and institutions include: police, border security, prosecutors, forensics experts, judges, court personnel, public defenders, mediators, arbitrators, conciliators, corrections personnel, private bar, law schools, legal professional associations, and training institutions for each of them. Support educational and training programs for all justice system actors, to include reform of pedagogy and curricula, continuing and in-service training, support of accreditation and legal professional associations to promote professionalism, and encourage public service. Improve administrative and operational systems, including strategic planning, budget, procurement, and personnel.Work towards an equitable justice system by ensuring fairness in law and process. Fairness programs include non-discrimination law fair trial standards, effective administrative law systems to guard against arbitrary government action, and observance by all justice system actors and institutions of international treaties and customary law. Support monitoring and advocacy by justice sector NGOs, including strategic lawyering, trial monitoring, and policy dialogue. Improve equitable access to justice through increasing the quality and quantity of state and non-state justice services, with a particular focus on women, youth, the poor, LGBT persons, and other marginalized or vulnerable groups. This includes access to state and non-state dispute-resolution fora; court re-distribution; mobile courts; the removal of language, gender, cultural, sexual orientation, gender identity and physical barriers; circulation of laws and legal decisions; alternative dispute resolution systems; and expanding access to legal services (e.g., public defenders’ offices, legal aid and legal services, labor law services, justice or legal resources centers). This also includes programs to educate the citizenry about their rights, how to access services, and how to encourage change. Programs primarily focused on trafficking in persons should be captured under PS.5 and programs focused on alien smuggling under PS.4. Assist institutions at all levels of the executive authority, including offices, ministries, and independent governmental bodies, but excluding security agencies of government which are covered by DR.2.5 (civilian agencies) and PS.8.2 (military), to operate more accountably, efficiently, and effectively. Assist with policies, procedures, and skill sets (including leadership and strategic management) to guide operations; implementation and enforcement of laws, regulations and policies; building linkages among executive institutions and between the executive and other branches of government. This element captures activities that may cover a wide range of governmental/public administration functions including supporting financial management systems; civil service reforms; public-private partnerships; and working with citizens as customers of the government.
