Through our JEDI project we aimed at strengthening democratic governance and the rule of law in Tunisia by improving access to justice, contributing to the development of legal frameworks and justice institutions, and supporting the protection of human rights through institutional mechanisms.
We worked with citizens, state institutions, and civil society actors to build awareness and understanding of justice sector issues, and to implement participatory reform measures. Despite challenges faced during implementation, such as the political environment, the COVID-19 situation, and the obstacles to advancing judicial reforms, we reached some 35,000 people directly, and some 7 million people indirectly, through knowledge products and awareness-raising messages on social media, radio and television, and in field activities.
We collaborated with 14 partners, including NGOs, public and governmental organisations, and local stakeholders, to ensure ownership and effectiveness of the reform measures. We worked with civil society partners, such as Mourakiboun, ATMA, IBSAR, Mobdiun and Munathara, to conduct awareness-raising campaigns on access to administrative justice and promoting human rights.
