Published purpose

This project aims to improve criminal justice systems in select countries in Central America and in Ethiopia, in order to better enforce criminal laws and reduce impunity. It addresses the need for justice systems to respond to spiralling crime rates in Central America and the rampant domestic violence in Ethiopia. By developing and implementing sustainable program training frameworks and better coordination amongst key justice system stakeholders, the project establishes the use of international standard practices in order to increase the number of criminal cases proceeding from investigation to trial. Using a train-the-trainer methodology, the project aims to institutionalize training programs into the national training infrastructures.
