This project aims to promote a fair and effective criminal justice system that protects the human rights of Palestinians and supports the stability and democratic development of the Palestinian Authority. CIDA’s contribution is being used to enhance the managerial, organizational, operational, and professional capacity of the Office of the Attorney General and the Public Prosecution Service in the West Bank. By providing equipment that meets basic operational needs, delivering professional legal training, and establishing several specialized internal units, CIDA is helping the Palestinian Authority undertake justice sector institutional reforms that enhance accountability and accessibility, while ensuring respect for human rights and the promotion of gender equality. CIDA is working with the Department of Justice Canada for the delivery of legal and professional training as well as technical assistance and with UNOPS for the procurement of goods and services.
