Bishkek, June 23, 2022. / Kabar /. The European Union, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic are launching an EUR 8 million project to support justice sector reform in Kyrgyzstan, UNODC reported.

The European Union and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), in partnership with the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic, held a kick-off event of the Programme to Support Justice Sector Reform in the Kyrgyz Republic Project, or - “Justice for All.” The programme will be implemented for four years, from January 2022 till December 2025.

EU-UNODC joint programme “Justice for All” will work on improving access to justice and the rule of law in Kyrgyzstan through strengthening probation and criminal justice information management in line with international standards as well as best European practices.

The launch event brought together representatives from the Government institutions, justice sector and law enforcement agencies, international and donor communities, civil society organisations and media.

The project will address two crucial areas in the criminal justice reform: probation and criminal justice information management. Thus, the project will create a fully functional probation service that can rehabilitate its clients and strengthen gender-responsive and human rights-based approaches to the administration of justice in the context of increased automation and digitalisation in the justice sector.
