As part of generating greater accountability on the part of criminal justice system actors and their compliance to the law, it is imperative to build their capacities as regards the knowledge and application of the law, the rights of the accused and duties and obligations of officials in the system.
We build the expertise of Prison Visitors; enhance the sensitivity and knowledge of legal aid lawyers; raise awareness of prison officials regarding oversight; mobilize civil society organizations on legal aid and legal aid; engage with the judiciary; train probation officers and convict paralegals. We create curriculum specially designed for training these actors.
