About this grant
The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law will work through four core competencies to advance people-centered justice. This includes accurately diagnosing justice needs in key countries, designing people-centered solutions, delivering scalable justice reforms and strengthening learning across networks of people-centered justice practitioners and policymakers. From 2023-24, the grantee completed extensive justice needs surveys in Tunisia, Uganda, Iraq and Colombia. Its people-centered guidelines on solving land and family disputes were put into practice in Nigeria. Similar guidelines for employment disputes were introduced in Tunisia. It supported 17 new justice startups to help bring innovative approaches to solving community justice problems to wider audiences. The grantee continued to play a central role in fostering international justice partnerships, including through its role in developing a justice financing framework aimed at supporting efforts to increase financial support to people-centered justice reforms globally. Established in 2005, the Hague Institute for Innovation of Law seeks to find innovative solutions to justice problems around the world.
