The project is carried out with the objective to contribute towards the strengthening of the justice sector in Ethiopia by increasing the capacity of judicial and law enforcement organs in one of the least developed areas of the country and to develop their awareness in key areas of human rights and administration of justice by engaging in a series of intensive trainings.
