Widening Access to Justice for Legal Empowerment in the Kyrgyz Republic, phase III
Description
Rule of Law Project of the UNDP is continuation for the previous phases of the project that were implemented in 2022-2024. Main achievements of the phase one and two are opening of Government free legal aid centers covering also civil cases, support to the drafting of law on domestic violence, promotion of ratification of UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and promotion of legal awareness of officials and population. Main beneficiaries are vulnerable groups of remote areas, such as rural women and people with disabilities. The legal awareness and access to justice of these groups is often weak. In phase III, the project will continue the work started during previous phases. One of the goals is to secure sustainability of free legal aid system. New national free legal aid center has been established under the Ministry of Justice. Its personnel will be trained and its quality standards developed. Members of the civil society will be given legal education and/or information. Project budget is 1,5 million euro for 2022-24.
