Launching today, the World Justice Project's Rule of Law Solutions Initiative is a qualitative research program focused on identifying and amplifying effective practices for advancing the rule of law. Over the coming months, the Rule of Law Solutions Initiative will share narrative reports in the areas of access to justice, anti-corruption and open government, and criminal justice reform, beginning with "Access to Justice in the Sahel."
The Rule of Law Solutions Initiative's reporting and interviews feature justice reformers with backgrounds and approaches ranging from the law to development, education, engineering, computer science, human rights, and humanitarian assistance. Some are animated by an entrepreneurial desire to build new tools for change, while others are deeply motivated by a personal experience of injustice. What they all share is a fundamental conviction that peace and development depend upon the rule of law.
The initiative is a registered UNDP accelerating action for Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to "promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels."
