In crisis-affected contexts, UNDP supports national and local authorities to rapidly restore justice and security services for the population. At the same time, UNDP works with leaders to identify and implement measures for medium and long-term justice and security reform, which are aligned with national priorities and owned by national stakeholders. As part of this assistance, UNDP helps strengthen the knowledge and skills of judges, prosecutors, lawyers, ministries, civil society and the police. UNDP also supports legal aid providers to help people understand and access the justice system, and supports mobile courts to facilitate resolution for criminal and civil matters in a faster, more efficient manner – especially for women, displaced communities, and hard-to-reach areas.
