| description |
The World Bank, Department for
International Development (DFID) and other donors have long
been engaged in legal and judicial reform in sub-Saharan
Africa in such areas as legal drafting, strengthening court
administration, judicial training, and the empowerment of
citizens through a better understanding of the legal system.
This has often been done on an ad hoc basis with only
limited review of other reform efforts in the region. In
order to foster a more responsive approach to justice sector
development programs, a collection of case studies was
commissioned. One of the more daunting tasks was identifying
notable justice sector developments or reforms, which
offered specific impacts and which could be examined through
both a desk review and field research. Independent of the
funding source, the evidence base was not only limited but
revealed a need for donors themselves to invest in better
data collection, which could then be analyzed and measured
against benchmarks or objectives such as improved access to
justice. There is a significant need to review and learn
from experiences, including controversial ones, in
Africa's justice sectors. These case studies are not
homogenous largely because their subjects vary and span a
wide array of developments that reflect the realities of the
region. Each story stands alone and is in no particular
order. In the final chapter, the conclusions offered in each
story are digested into ideas for future actions. The
collection also represents a modest range of stories and it
is to be hoped that other cases will be identified and
shared. A comparison of experiences of sector-wide programs
(SWAPs), for example, could help both donors and governments
enhance socio-economic impact. It should be noted that the
emphasis in this report is on providing information about
positive directions in justice sector development and the
ways in which lessons learned might be applied to achieve
greater impact in the future. The anticipated value of this
collection is that some of the conclusions or actions may be
taken up and used to contribute to improvements by those
committed to improving the rule of law in sub-Saharan Africa
and is in search of 'success'. |
