The evaluation of UNDP’s support to access to justice – the first comprehensive assessment by the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) in this area – analysed the relevance, coherence, effectiveness and sustainability of UNDP’s offer. In line with UNDP’s definition of access to justice, IEO examined UNDP’s support to both the demand and the supply of justice services, while enlarging its analysis to alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and the expanding portfolio of environmental justice.

The evaluation covered the evolution of UNDP programming, including the expanded support to digitization and digitalization, always first accounting for the needs of those most at risk of being left behind.
