With the launch of two World Bank-funded
programs, Jordan is stepping where few countries in the
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region have gone before
the development of comprehensive legal aid services based
more closely on demand. For many poor persons, regular
avenues of dispute resolution may prove inaccessible due to
the costs involved, the complicated nature of procedures,
the inability to procure legal information and
representation, and a general lack of knowledge about rights
and the means to enforce them. Legal aid services
information, counseling and representation in court can help
poor persons overcome these obstacles. They are not only
important as services themselves, but are gateway services
they may ultimately lead to access to other services, such
as social welfare benefits or basic services. |
