The Ministry of Law, Justice and Human Rights has approved five projects worth Rs31.65 million to enhance capacity-building of law officials and initiating public awareness programmes to remove the public grievances.
According to official sources, the approved schemes included basic computer orientation training for district judiciary officers, development of web portal, web based monitoring and evaluation, and automation software for access to justice programme, public awareness on new initiatives under the Police Order 2002, and capacity building of the National Public Safety Commission (NPSC) for policing plans.
These schemes would be implemented by the Access to Justice Programme (AJP), National Police Bureau (NPB), and the Law and Justice Commission of Pakistan (LJCP).
The Technical Committee of the Access to Justice Programme (AJP), Ministry of Law, Justice and Human Rights gave final approval to the schemes in a meeting held recently with former Justice Mansoor Ahmed, Federal Secretary Law and Justice, in the chair.
Four domestic consulting firms would be hired for each province to train 1,848 selected officers of the district judiciary, who would benefit from the training over a period of six months. About 122 training workshops would be conducted and consultants in each province would provide consulting services for a period of six months.
The web portal of the AJP would also include content management system, and complaint handling system. Besides providing easy access to information and policy documents, the web portal would provide speedy remedy and redress the complaints from the common people. The public awareness campaign under Police Order 2002 would educate the public, particularly the vulnerable sections of the society about their rights and the new initiatives that government of Pakistan has taken.
The annual judicial conference would provide an opportunity to the participants from the justice sector institutions to learn from the experiences of each other, and adopt the best practices of their counterparts across the country.
