Evaluating local and rural justice models in Colombia

UNDP

Colombia

Local and rural justice models in Colombia enable the system to respond to the territories' real justice needs, thus guaranteeing adequate access to justice. UNDP Colombia has set out to evaluate the results of local and rural justice models using behavioral science approaches. The initiative will work with several target groups: communities, public officials, grassroots organizations, and justice operators who participate in training and capacity building sessions. It has four main components, and within each component, various experiments will be run to test behaviours: 1. Formal justice services: Transforming imaginary, victimizing and tolerant practices towards GBV. 2. Conflict resolution methods: Generating the capacities required for peaceful conflict resolution. 3. Restorative juvenile justice: Mending social relationships and trust damaged by crime, and inducing lasting changes in the behaviour of offenders, based on the authentic recognition of their responsibility. 4. Appropriation of justice: Appropriate justice, peace, and legality as a constant practice in the daily environment, and understand and resolve conflicts.
