Through this program our activities will ensure that people living in cities, and in particular the disadvantaged, see more of their issues resolved fairy and effectively by a justice sector that is more innovative, open, transparent and accountable. Eventually, this reduce stress, violence, and poverty, and improve opportunities by increasing to justice and making the justice system more inclusive in Cities. This programme puts existing justice data to work and uses it as a foundation to develop solutions and strengthen the justice system as a whole. The design is based on collaboration: Am constantly informed by what I have learned from the users of the justice system and for every outcome we will work closely with the experts and entrepreneurs that deliver justice solutions. The programme will have four main executing components: (1). Data -to-Action. We build transparency (people can know), and accountability (people can act) through an interactive justice Dashboard that will be available through a web platform and an app. Moreover, we will develop concert tools for improvement: (a) Action plans for three of the most pressing justice problems: a review in details how the system works, user
stories and terms of reference for optimizing the system, and designs for resolution process; and (b) a Treatment Guideline for the family justice: best practices combined with evidence about what works, providing a more standardized, higher quality way of 'treating ' the problems. Finally, we will conduct a follow
up justice Needs and Satisfaction (JNS) survey, building on the baseline which will be established. This will show trends and inform the actors in the justice about priorities, improvement or lack of improvements. (2). Justice Leadership. We help develop the new kind of leadership in cities that will be connected with methods we shell use. A leadership that puts the users of the justice systems at it's heart and that connects, bridges and drives towards constant improvement, based on our data. Leadership dialogue in cities will be held between justice leaders and members of the justice leadership group. Moreover, a documentary will be produced that will highlight stories that inspire citizens and empower them to claim their rights and hold duty
bearers in the justice system accountable. (3). Innovation Challenges. The data and the action plans will reveal bottlenecks for access to justice. We will turn these into challenges for innovators: city entrepreneurs, lawyers, judges or civil society organizations will be challenged to provide innovative solutions. We will run a start-up Accelerator programme and a scaling proven Innovations programme to nurture and scale up the most promising ideas and solutions. Through these programmes, we aim to train at least 20 promising justice entrepreneurs, solving justice needs around land, family, employment or crime, and connect these to mentors to help them grow their ideas into impact full ventures. (4). Governance, Coordination and Evaluation. The management of the programme will combine specialized expertise with effective overall coordination. It will include a local presence with three staff members (programmes Manager, Office Manager and Business Development Manager) to help coordinate the different programme components, lead on the ground logistics and administration, inform and involve the various stakeholders in our activities and progress and take care of any local outreach in Cities.
