Mission Statement
The Governance and Justice Group (GJG) is a non-profit organization. We are a multi-disciplinary group of highly experienced practitioners and offer support to institutions and others involved in reforming justice, security and governance. Our work is grounded in reality and long experience. We offer contemporary, relevant and pertinent recommendations for reform and change. Our approach is down-to-earth, pragmatic and solution-oriented. Our main focus is on ensuring that ordinary people have a voice and are able to access judicial and other institutions to exercise their rights.

We deliver on :

•    Advice and assistance on access to justice and issues of good governance
•    Political and security analysis including risk assessments and specific sectoral analyses
•    Tailor-made capacity- and institution-building
•    Research, data collection and analysis

The aim of this website is to provide the practitioner with practicable, useful and up-to-date information that informs approaches to problems that often seem intractable. It aims to be dynamic and interactive based upon comments and suggestions from those using it. Click on the GJG Exchange to send these comments/suggestions

The governance and justice sector is both complex and politically sensitive. As in all sectors, reform is a constant and dynamic process since no one country has a perfect system, and a great deal depends on the political will to implement change. Political will can be encouraged by adopting approaches (often highly innovative) that demonstrate how international standards and principles of governance agreed in regional fora may be applied in practice. Such approaches are made up of a number of strategies, tools, and practices, which we present in the menu to the left. 

The strategies are about getting from point A to point B: we start by viewing justice as a process and proposing a series of approaches that have worked for state and non-state entities in different contexts

The toolbox provides a range of tools to inform the process of change considering the challenges confronting government and justice actors to deliver - and citizens to access – justice.

The good practices demonstrate a range of interventions that have proved effective in making justice more accessible and in tackling some major obstacles.

The GJG exchange: provides a forum/platform for your questions, comments and experiences

Finally, the GJG presents the make-up of the Group, as well as where and how it operates.
