About this grant
The project goal is to increase access to justice for poor and marginalized people in South Africa. To this end, the Association of University Legal Aid Institutions Trust will continue to implement its cluster model program to provide financial, accompaniment and backup legal support to community advice offices in selected provinces in South Africa. It will also continue to build capacity of community paralegals and assist them with outreach activities. Past support has allowed the grantee to use its network to provide frontline justice services to more than 78,000 people. The Association of University Legal Aid Institutions Trust was established in 1998 and plays an important role in providing resources and backup legal services to advice offices in South Africa.
