UNDP - United Nations Development Programme

Objet publié

The Justice Support Basket Fund is a 5-year multi-donor pooled fund led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), to which Canada contributes. The project contributes to the fight against impunity in Haiti by strengthening the capacities of institutions and players in the judicial system, and by ensuring better coordination with the Haitian National Police (PNH) for investigations, prosecutions and judgments. As a starting point, the project proposes to strengthen the independence and integrity of judges and government commissioners. It also provides for the establishment of an international mentoring system for anti-gang, financial and gender-based violence units. This will help to speed up priority cases, as well as building the capacity of the judicial system at community level to improve access to justice.
