Rwanda Administration of Justice Project
January 2001-September 2003

The USAID-funded Rwanda Administration of Justice project sought to develop greater efficiency, accountability, and performance in judicial administration. MSD worked with Rwanda’s Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to begin rebuilding the justice sector in post-genocide Rwanda. MSD worked with a MoJ task force to review regulations and procedures to standardize operations, and develop training protocols for mid-level court employees. Outcomes included improved interoffice communication, strengthened inventory procedures. The project included procurements in excess of $200 million for intranet communications, and computers.
