Empowering the Poor: Jordan Legal Aid Clinics Project

This project aims to establish a national network of legal aid clinics in Jordan to provide legal assistance to the underserved population. By enhancing legal awareness and improving access to justice, the initiative seeks to address the prevalent gaps in legal representation for the poor. Through a systematic approach and strategic partnerships, the project aims to build an efficient response model that ensures quality controls and creative solutions, such as apprenticeships and mobile legal aid clinics. The project also focuses on creating evidence-based support and developing a sustainable and replicable framework for legal empowerment. By leveraging household and criminal legal representation surveys, the initiative identifies key challenges and opportunities to enhance legal aid services for the marginalized communities. Proper documentation and celebrating successes are essential components of delivering justice sector services effectively.
