EU commits P1.1-B to improve justice access for Filipinos

MANILA — The European Union has committed over P1.1 billion to support the Philippines' efforts to improve access to justice for all Filipinos.

Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the partnership between EU and Manila "will deliver dividends where it counts most – in making justice, human rights, and the rule of law not only well-entrenched and enduring institutions in Philippine society, but also a felt reality in the everyday life of every Filipino."

The EU delegation to the Philippines said GOJUST will support development of more justice services in the country; contribute to reduction of case backlogs with automation of courts and prosecution offices; support coordination of justice sector agencies at national and local level; and foster research use in design and management of justice sector policies.

"For example, the program will contribute to combatting violence against women and girls by increasing the barangays’ capacity to issue protection orders as mandated by the law."
