Strengthening Alternative Dispute Resolution to increase access to justice for Excluded Groups and Women

April 25, 2024

ADR project aims to increase access to justice for the most marginalized groups in Timor-Leste, predominantly women, and other excluded groups. The project intends to enhance the alternative dispute resolution practices already taking part in the community. This will be done through the enhancement of community leaders to increase their awareness on issues such as impartiality, human rights, and discriminatory practices as well as enhancing the community-based ADR practices through the establishment of a paralegal programme. The project also intends to strengthen the newly formed State institution, Land and Property Commission, in the development of their SOPs/guidelines, associated training, and mentorship program.
