This request was part of the Justice Support Project of which the general objective was to contribute to strengthening the rule of law and the promotion of democracy in Benin by improving governance, fighting corruption and respecting human rights.
Its specific objective was to help Benin improve both access to fair and high quality justice, and the detention and reintegration conditions of prisoners. In doing so, the JSP has supported the implementation of the sectoral policy in the field of justice by addressing the above three major problems identified, through: modernising the central administration of the Ministry of Justice, Legislation and Human Rights (MJLHR); ensuring better access to justice; and improving detention conditions with the aim of aligning them to international standards and contributing to the reintegration of prisoners.
The specific objective of this contract was to support the Directorate of Programming and Forecasting (DPF) and other directorates of the Ministry of Justice and Legislation (MJL) in implementing the activities envisaged within PE2 of the JSP and the related work plan.
The technical contractor has therefore supported the implementation of the activities envisaged within PE2 of the JSP which required technical assistance, and has provided the services listed below. In addition to the mobilisation of expertise in the fields mentioned, the contract required coordination of the experts involved. Moreover, the contractor has ensured continuity with the actions initiated during the implementation of PE1 and that the MJL authorities completely approve the results.
