The LRC in partnership with the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative in collaboration with Crime Check Foundation, with funding from United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is undertaking a three (3) year project titled \u201cUSAID Justice Sector Support (JSS) Activity.<\/p>\n
This project seeks to monitor and sustain the implementation of Ghana`s Case Tracking System (CTS)- a software system instituted by Chemonics International and partners aimed at employing technology solutions to track criminal cases from inception until being disposed of. The project which will be implemented in 40 target districts in 8 Regions of Ghana will ensure that marginalized communities through mobilization and innovative public education programmes are aware of and supported to track progress of the delivery of the CTS.<\/p>\n
The project will keenly monitor and advocate for the utilization of the CTS by targeted Justice Sector Institutions, mobilize citizen groups to monitor the CTS process, facilitate demand for its functionality, accountability and responsiveness by relevant State Institutions, promote legislative and policy reform, and advocate better coordination among the key Justice Sector Institutions and civil society.<\/p>\n
