Evidence-Based Procedures to Reduce Injustice: A Game-Changer for Uganda

In an effort to tackle the pressing issue of injustice in Uganda, a recent study conducted by HiiL (The Hague Institute for Global Justice) has shed light on the experiences and needs of ordinary citizens. The comprehensive report provides a baseline understanding of access to justice in Uganda, highlighting the importance of evidence-based procedures in reducing inequality.

Establishing Indicators of Success

The study’s findings suggest that Ugandans face numerous challenges when seeking justice, including inadequate information, lack of resources, and poor quality of services. To address these issues, establishing indicators of success is crucial. These include:

• Ownership of Justice Problems: Recognizing the impact of injustice on citizens’ daily lives and committing to change.
• Implementation of Strategies: Scaling up successful strategies and assessing what does not work, with lessons learned being shared widely.
• Achieving Set Goals: Reaching the goals established in the process, ensuring more citizens have access to better justice journeys.

The Journey to Justice

The study’s findings reveal that Ugandans’ journeys to justice are often marked by frustration and disappointment. Many individuals rely on informal justice systems, such as traditional leaders and Local Council Courts, due to a lack of trust in formal institutions. The report highlights the importance of providing citizens with accessible and effective justice services.

A Way Forward

The evidence gathered through this study will inform policymakers and justice stakeholders, enabling them to focus on addressing specific problem areas. By recognizing that justice is about more than just formal institutions, and acknowledging the role of various justice providers, we can work towards creating a more equitable and just society in Uganda.

Conclusion

This groundbreaking research provides a solid foundation for evidence-based procedures to reduce injustice in Uganda. By establishing indicators of success and implementing effective strategies, we can ensure that more citizens have access to better justice journeys. As the report’s findings are used to inform policy and programming, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable society for all Ugandans.
