Context
The judiciary in Senegal hands down legal rulings that are often unpredictable and only enforced inconsistently. Alongside corruption and illicit financial flows, this leads to widespread public mistrust in both the government and the justice system.
People in Senegal need better access to institutions that uphold their rights. Civil society actors in this area require greater support. There is also a need to take action against illicit financial flows. This will help to strengthen the rule of law in Senegal.
Objective
The state, judiciary and civil society are helping the people of Senegal – especially women – to assert their rights, while successfully curbing illicit financial flows and corruption.
Approach
The project enables representatives from government and civil society to promote access to justice and take action against illicit financial flows. It does so by offering training courses, organising dialogue formats between key decision-makers, and funding campaigns that raise awareness of rights. The main beneficiaries of this are the people of Senegal, particularly women.
The project is working in partnership with the Senegalese Ministry of Justice.
