Description

Background
The Australia Solomon Islands Partnership for Justice (ASIPJ) continues Australia’s long-running support to the Solomon Islands justice sector. Its goal is to work closely with the Solomon Islands Government (SIG) to enable justice agencies to maintain delivery of their existing, core activities while clearly identifying and engaging with fundamental problems and critical issues affecting their ability to contribute to stability and offer access to justice for citizens.

ASIPJ is delivered through four key outcome areas: i) improving core service delivery capacity; ii) enhancing capacity for justice sector management and leadership; iii) enhancing collaboration with state and non-state actors to improve access to justice, and iv) increased sensitivity and responsiveness to those vulnerable to family and sexual violence.

ASIPJ aspires to be locally led, problem-oriented and learning driven. It is pragmatic, practical, and adaptable, mainstreaming gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI).
