Effective systems for justice provision and dispute resolution are essential for maintaining a lasting peace in fragile and conflict-affected countries, but weak state capacity can often lead to inadequate formal justice institutions. As a result, citizens may seek resolution elsewhere, including through local, informal processes. How can the state strengthen formal systems of justice provision and build citizen trust in the state, and do informal dispute resolution systems complement or undermine these efforts? To address these questions, the Governance, Crime, and Conflict Initiative’s (GCCI) upcoming webinar, Who Delivers Justice? Evidence for Strengthening Dispute Resolution Systems, will discuss relevant evaluations and the studies’ implications for policymakers.

This is the third webinar in a series showcasing emerging results and policy lessons from the first three years of GCCI. J-PAL’s Crime and Violence Initiative

and Governance Initiative

and Innovations for Poverty Action’s Peace & Recovery Program

jointly launched GCCI in 2017 to produce new research on effective policies to promote peace and good governance, reduce crime, and support individuals and communities recovering from conflict. Supported by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, GCCI has funded almost 100 randomized evaluations to date.

During this webinar, panelists will share emerging insights from two GCCI-funded studies in Pakistan and South Africa that evaluate different approaches for increasing citizens’ willingness to engage with state channels for justice provision. They will also discuss the implications of this new research for evidence-informed decision-making. A short audience Q&A will follow the panel discussion.

We hope you and others in your network will be able to join us.
