USAID / Enhanced Palestinian Justice Program

The overall goal of the program is to build a more effective and competent Palestinian justice sector that is accountable to the public and responds to citizens' needs. The objectives of this program are to enhance efficiency of targeted justice sector institutions; improve service delivery provided by justice sector institutions; enhance education and management systems of legal education; support the development of Family Courts; promote the concept of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services; develop inter-institutional coordination among justice institutions; and increase citizen engagement in rule of law issues. This program will focus on core public functions within justice sector institutions and require a flexible mix of technical assistance, training, equipment, and other assistance. Ethics and anti-corruption will be cross-cutting themes of the program. The program will support the Palestinian Authority's commitment to strengthen and reform government institutions, and will focus on supporting visible improvements in the delivery of services that contribute towards increased public confidence.
