## What the grant funds

The Activity will aim to strengthen the transparency and accountability of the judiciary and other key government institutions. It will do so by supporting the following four objectives: Strengthen the judiciary as a core pillar of the governance and rule of law architecture, with a focus on facilitating greater coherence, coordination, and communication between the varied institutions, actors, and processes (formal and informal) that comprise this system. Strengthen justice and legal services to address legal problems, resolve disputes, and protect fundamental rights and thus close the justice gap. Strengthen the connection between the judiciary and society by ensuring that the systems and services are more responsive to the population as a whole and equipped to address the legal problems and justice needs of the communities and businesses they are mandated to service. Engage select executive institutions and parliament to strengthen open government policies and the delivery of services across sectors in a more transparent, accountable, and citizen-responsive manner. In achieving these four objectives, the activity will adhere to three core guiding principles: fostering a people-centered approach to justice, promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, and prioritizing learning and adaptation in Activity implementation. Most importantly, the Activity will support the Kyrgyz Government initiatives and strategies in the field of rule of law, most notably the National Target Program on Development of the Judicial System for 2019-2022.
