"Action for justice e human rights " The right to access to law and justice today is considered as part of contemporary societies.
The project aims to bring close justice and Human Rights, including rights of women, citizens in need, women victim of domestic violence as well as the empowerment of these women to understand their rights.
Constitutionally ordained in our constitution (article. 62), the access to law and justice does have a crucial role, although it doesn’t finish there, as an instrument of protection of legitimate rights and interests. 
The change that the project will bring consists on the effectiveness of access to law  and justice to the citizen in need as well as women through judicial and juridical assistance and sensitization  for laws to be made known through education to citizenship, representing an important mechanism of formulation of citizenship  and pacification and social inclusion.
Getting to the bottom of democracy is strictly related with guarantee of citizens’ rights without any exclusion, being these economical, cultural or other.
However, effective legal, judicial and impartial systems constitute the essence of good governance and respect for guarantee of Human Rights effectiveness. The legal assistance promotes access to justice, although experience shows that, if it be under the responsibility of the formal justice systems only, it will not be sufficiently inclusive, leaving aside the citizens without resources.
On the other hand, the existence of mechanisms for assistance and alternative juridical assistance is crucial for access and approach of justice and human rights of citizens, including women rights.
Like in many developing countries, Mozambique does have some weakness in the justice administration system. These weakness, on one hand are related to the insufficiency of human rights with specific training (Lawyers, Judicial Magistrates, and Prosecuting Counsel), insufficient budget, lack of logistic support and on the other hand, the outdated legislation, compared with the present sociopolitical state of affairs.
The Mozambican Government created IPAJ with the aim to guarantee the right to judicial representation, to the citizen economically unprotected, the judiciary assistance necessary (article. 1 of Decree nº, 54/95, of 13th December), however the response capacity of the institution is doubtful, for many reasons that are not part of the present project.
It’s within this context that the project has been developing, from its establishment, activities of judicial assistance to prisoners, training of assistants and citizenship.
Another reality is related to the “Popular lynching phenomenon”, that can be observed in the last years in many Maputo quarters, making it necessary to call the conscience of the citizens about the legal consequences of misconduct and the prejudice to Human Rights that normally is a result of taking the law into ones hands system.
One of the reasons of this situation is related to lack of information and juridical culture from citizens, since they don’t trust and believe in the Justice Administration organ, and we hope the situation may change.
For these problems to be solved, the Commission will continue to give training courses in the parishes about right to access justice, including women rights, as well as in the local communities in reasonable numbers (if you refer that the parishes and the local communities are located in the communities and many times envolve many neighboring quarters), which may allow more training of the attenders. On the other hand, define training about access to Law and Justice, including women rights at coordinators level and youth groups from Justice and Peace Commissions at Parish level, nucleus and communities. 
As a principle for methodology, we will give privilege to didactic methodology of teaching together with a collective participation where the leaners will demonstrate the comprehension level and link of the different subjects being taught. 
It’s based on this organization order that the Commission for Justice and Peace of Maputo, including Women rights, democracy, should call for community and individual conscience in terms of Rights and responsibilities.
ii) Lessons learned from recent projects financed by TROCAIRE
The project reinforced CAJP mission, and carried over the project objectives taking into account the lessons learned during 2010-2012, mainly resulting from extreme evaluation and an internal reflection from the project activities, which contributed for the improvement of our Strategic Plan (there are intentions of revision of the Strategic Plan to align it with the Governance Strategies of CAFOD). 
Therefore it should be referred that: 
•	The involvement with organizations that deal with the topic of Human Rights and Governance did bring new willing to improve the performance and new approaches that we want to start in the future.
•	The pastoral penitentiary which is one of the mission of CAJP is strictly necessary to be together with juridical assistance since many prisoners don’t have conditions  to pay  a lawyer and the public defensory do not match the numbers that they meet;
•	As a result of the intermediate evaluation of the project and the dynamic of the sector of development, it was noticed that there is a need for  a program of strengthening of the institutional capacity of CAJP;
•	  CAJP does not have proper incomes that could support the expenses of implementation of a project; therefore, there is a need for a fund raising strategy.
•	Because of the incoming call in the radio programs and debates, we do think that there is a positive impact, which can be noticed through the telephone calls, during the program and we would like to maximize that;
•	One of the big challenges of the society organizations are the networks and experience exchange visits, therefore we think that working with other commissions from other provinces is really important to maximize information and efforts.
iii) This project will try to solve the following problems:
?	Overcrowding in prisons and the arbitrariness that the justice system creates due to lack of resources of the prisoners;
?	The arbitrary application  of law
?	Lack of information or access to this and the capacity from the communities to claim their rights
?	Access to reintegration and reinsertion and the problem of discrimination that many times ends up with relapse.

This project will contribute for implementation of the program and strategy of CAFOD, since the beneficiaries will be conscious  that the juridical and judicial assistance  and information about laws  will give them significant rights  and they will see on the laws and courts an important instrument for them to claim.
The intervention strategy responds to the project message “Access to Law and Justice more close to the poor’s and vulnerable people” which will be based on two points: 
•	The message of denouncement of all injustice and dehumanization related to the Mozambican justice system; 
•	The message of notices (for knowledge of laws) that one way of justice and humanization should be accessible to the citizen, as long as there is a will action from personal conversion to social transformation. 
The project involves the cooperators of CAJP as implementers and the parish communities of Maputo archdiocese, people responsible for the areas, prisoners and ex-prisoners as beneficiaries.
To guarantee access to law and justice means, to ensure that the citizens, particularly those more vulnerable, know their rights, and do not feel constrained due to their condition and might have conditions to win  the opportunity costs and the economical, social and cultural barriers, to have access to the entity that they consider to be more adequate to the resolution of the litigation – being this a third part of society, a formal institution or the judicial courts. The strategy of extension of access also includes the value added of other issues, special information and juridical disclosure and education for rights .
