Support to civil society organisations through the Legal Services Facility
The Legal Services Facility was a basket fund designed and managed initially by a Technical Assistant/Fund Manager to support legal aid and paralegal service provision in Tanzania. The Facility channelled funding on an equal opportunities basis to legal aid and paralegal service providers on Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar that assist individuals to claim their rights, redress grievances, and which protect fundamental human rights of the individual.
The Facility provided fair and efficient administration of grants to promote the objectives and strategies of legal aid and paralegal organizations and provided professional services. The size of the fund was approx. 13.2 million USD. Danida and DFID contributed to the basket fund, though other development partners were expected to join at a later stage.
