Promoting access to justice through innovative use of technology, legal aid, awareness and empowerment. This activity is designed as phase 2 of the Access to Justice ac­tivity which ended in December 2019. It  aims to  scale up the successes of phase 1, deepen the results achieved and invest in addressing prevailing justice gaps, in par ticular, for the most vulnerable. At the  end of the activity, it is expected that it  will have contributed to enforcement of Article 48 of the Constitution to promote access to  justice, in particular for the poor and vulnerable (with more focus on women). It  will therefore continue to invest in the following: 1.   Full roll out of M-Haki mobile platform -  a tool for pro­ vision of legal aid and advice in a quick (real time), cheap (without paying a lawyer) and efficient manner (no need to  travel to Kituo offices or to get legal aid). It  will also include use of media (radio programs)  to popularise the  M-Haki platform for effective usage; 2.   Paralegals to  provide legal advice, assistance and legal empowerment/  human rights awareness through the Prisons and Community Justice Centres, in which women will deliberately  be targeted. It  will entail peri­ odic paralegal trainings, establishment  of 4 new Pris­ ons justices centres and 3 new community  justice cen­ tres -  in addition to existing 8 and 9 in Prisons and Communities  respectively; 3.    Use of volunteer advocates to  address more compli­ cated legal problems in the Counties, and regular pro­ vision of legal aid, legal advice, legal clinics and capac­ ity  building for paralegals; 4.    Legal aid clinics and outreach to  provide legal empow­ erment (in particular to  women), education and iden­ tify systemic human rights and legal problems that need to  be resolved throuqh Public Interest' Litiqation; 5.   Awareness raising campaigns on legal rights -  through the media, workshops, publications and IEC materials; and production and dissemination of interactive biogs. Gender will be a key consideration  in the entire program (tar­ gets and beneficiaries given the analysis of various barriers to justice affecting  women -  lack of legal knowledge, economic barriers given the high cost of legal representation, women not empowered to make decisions especially  to seek justice for family disputes/land matters, culture and traditions that mar­ginalize women especially in succession matters and prevent them from seeking justice). Gender will be a consideration in the selection of paralegals, volunteer advocates and prisons within which to establish justice centres. SGBV cases and suc­cession matters will deliberately be targeted for PIL and legal aid. In M<(>&<)>E, gender disaggregated data will be captured, analysed and reported upon. In  Phase 1,  some of the notable achievements  include partial roll out of M-Haki access to justice mobile platform in which 12,593 legal problems (including  629 SGBV) were addressed; 75 Volunteer  Advocates and 40 paralegals have been regis­tered and are providing legal aid and advice on M-Haki;8 Pris­ ons Justice centres and 9 Community Justice centres are now fully functional  with 538 Prisons paralegals and 238 Community paralegals trained and are providing legal advice and empowerment;  a total of 9,364 justice problems  were handled and resolved by the paralegals.  M-Haki  has so far received national and international recognition as a justice innovation and was the 2019 finalist in the World Justice Challenge. Significant  achievements from the Prisons justice centres: 4,102 matters were handled by the prisons paralegals leading to 712 acquittals at High Court level, 15 acquittals at Court of Appeal, 641 reduction of sentences  (of  which 248 were re­ leased), 532 remandees successfully self-represented them­ selves of which 164 were released on bail and 338 had their bail and bond terms reduced -
