I. Access to Justice Capacity-Building for Civil Society

Pact is supporting increased access to justice in South Sudan as part of its overall access to justice and peacebuilding portfolio through the South Sudan Peace Fund. Pact’s access to justice programming focuses on increased access to justiceat the State and County-level in South Sudan through funding and technical assistance to government, traditional authorities, civil society, communities and individual clients. Pact’s access to justice program seeks to expand government and traditional authorities’ justice service delivery capacity, strengthen civil society’s capacity advocate for and provide justice services, and increase individual citizens’ understanding of their fundamental rights and access to legal services.

After decades of war, civil society’s capacity to advocate for and provide justice services in South Sudan is understandably low. Apart from a few successfulEquatorias-based organizations engaged in a wide-range of justice sector activities, South Sudan has seen little civil society organizations or activities dedicated to access to justice. Civil society organizations regularly cite the need for accessible justice services, especially for the poor, and the need to improve rule of law as a key element of building a peaceful South Sudan. However, little has been done so far to provide civil society with the tools they need to be a key link between citizens and the government

Pact’s access to justice program will support organizations working in areas that are “donor orphans” in the areas of civil society promotion of access to justice and rule of law. Program selection criteria include:

i. Urgency of the need for access to justice programming in a particular area;
ii. Lack of civil society access to justice programming in a particular area;
iii. Desire by a particular civil society organization with the internal organizational capacity to engage in access to justice programing in an ethical manner;
iv. Potential for Pact or other donors to support an organization’s access to justice programing once an organization has developed requisite skill sets, concept notes, and proposals.
