Justice Education Society of British Columbia

With CIDA funding from the Canadian Partnership Branch, JES is leading a four- year multi-country criminal justice system strengthening program that aims to strengthen the Rule of Law in Ethiopia and end impunity. This is part of a cohesive program taking concrete steps to build effective justice systems in different regions of the world. This program addresses the need for the Ethiopian justice systems to respond to serious crimes, with a particular focus of crimes against women which are rampant. The program uses a systemic approach by offering training to all justice system partners including police, prosecutors, and judges.  It includes training and policy and procedural reform in crime scene examination, investigation, major case management and investigation, and oral trial techniques. This is a CIDA Funded Project.
