Duteze Imbere Ubutabera (Rwanda):  Building on recent investments in civil society development and rule of law programs, USAID, via the Access to Justice activity, will use FY 2018 funds to increase access to justice and enhance the rule of law in Rwanda. The Access to Justice activity will improve justice services through its consortia of local civil society organizations.

First, it will improve the effectiveness of court mechanisms (formal and traditional mechanisms) and second, it will improve public understanding of and access to judicial system processes and legal rights. An improved judiciary will be achieved by training for judges on substantive issues and professionalism as well as on using the integrated case electronic management system (IECMS) in order to improve adherence to the law and enhance critical thinking of legal professionals.
