This project aims to improve forensic science services in the State of Palestine so that courts and investigations can rely on accurate and trustworthy evidence. By strengthening laboratories, staff skills and systems, the project supports a justice system that is fair and works better for women, men and children. Project activities include: (1) upgrading forensic laboratories, equipment and databases to improve DNA, fingerprint, firearms and trace evidence analysis; (2) improving rules, procedures and quality control to ensure forensic work meets international standards; (3) training and mentoring forensic specialists across key disciplines; and (4) supporting police, prosecutors, judges and other justice actors to better understand and use forensic evidence and to work more effectively together.
