The program included three main tasks: improve court administration; improve capacity of magistrates and court staff, and draft and implement key laws and regulations to support effective rule of law. USAID continued to improve court administration through its Model Courts and Courts in Partnership programs, strengthening the Supreme Judicial Council, addressing court automation, and working on criminal law issues. USAID also improved the capacity of magistrates and court staff by strengthening the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), and working on curriculum development. In support of key laws and regulations for an effective rule of law, USAID implemented three activities: a grants program, drafting laws and regulations, and increasing public awareness and support for the judiciary. A Prosecutors Training Component was added in the last stage of the program implementation.
