Justice

5.1 billion people—two thirds of the world’s population—lack meaningful access to justice. To achieve SDG16+ and deliver equal access to justice for all by 2030, we need to put people at the center of justice systems and move from words and planning to action and implementation.

The Grand Challenge provides a platform to exchange innovative practices on data collection, evidence-based policy making, and effective use of resources to bridge silos and transform justice systems in preventing and resolving people’s common justice problems.
