USAID JUSTICE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECT II (JSDP II)
The new USAID Justice Sector Development Project II (JSDP II) is a three-year, $4.9 million activity that follows up on the successes of the first JSDP (2004-2009) while launching some significant new reform initiatives.
JSDP II continues the successful partnership initiative of its predecessor project with the BiH High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (HJPC), the BiH Ministry of Justice (MOJ), and the courts. In addition, JSDP II has launched a new partnership with prosecutors’ offices and an ambitious new engagement with civil society. JSDP II supports the rule of law in Bosnia-Herzegovina through: (1) strengthened judicial independence, accountability and effectiveness; (2) a better coordinated and more unified justice sector oriented towards EU accession; and (3) increased public confidence in the rule of law. Rule of law is fundamental for a democratic political system and a market economy, and an embedded rule of law better protects the rights of all BiH citizens and limits excessive government power. |
