Quarterly Technical Report: Access to Justice Activity (April 1 – June 30, 2016)

The AJA aims to improve access to justice for Colombians, particularly in rural areas. The program focuses on strengthening local justice systems and promoting alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The AJA works closely with the Ministry of Justice and Law (MJL) and the High Council for the Post-Conflict (ACPC) to consolidate the process of creating and strengthening local justice committees (LJC) and local justice systems (LJS). The program also collaborates with other stakeholders, including non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and community groups, to promote access to justice and support the implementation of the peace agreement. One of the key achievements of the AJA is the establishment of 29 special zones and camps for demobilized guerrilla troops in 15 departments. The AJA is working in seven of these municipalities, providing support to the local justice committees and promoting alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. The AJA has also made significant progress in promoting access to justice for women and vulnerable populations. The program has worked with the Attorney General's Office (AGO) to develop policies and procedures related to gender-based violence (GBV), and has provided training and support to prosecutors and judges on GBV cases. In addition, the AJA has supported the implementation of the peace agreement by working with the MJL and ACPC to establish a framework for the consolidation of local justice systems and the promotion of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms.
