Diverse Pathways to People-Centred Justice: Report Summary

This report underscores the critical role of Customary and Informal Justice (CIJ) systems in achieving SDG 16.3 – justice for all by 2030. CIJ systems are diverse, dynamic, and widely used, serving as the primary justice providers for billions of people globally, often addressing issues critical to their daily lives like land, water, and family disputes.

Key Findings:

1. CIJ as a Dominant Justice Provider: Formal justice systems alone cannot meet the justice needs of all. Most people rely on CIJ systems, making engagement with these systems essential. CIJ systems offer cost-effective, accessible, and culturally resonant justice alternatives.

2. Gender and Marginalized Groups: CIJ can be more effective for marginalized groups, but they often perpetuate discriminatory practices, particularly for women, girls, and other vulnerable populations. Addressing these issues is crucial for advancing equity and human rights.

3. Challenges and Risks: CIJ systems face risks including human rights abuses, lack of transparency, and discriminatory practices. Overcoming challenges like funding gaps, donor reluctance, and government resistance is critical for scaling up CIJ engagement.

Recommendations for Action:

1. Justice Ecosystems Approach: Governments and development partners should adopt a justice ecosystems approach to understand the diverse justice providers, including CIJ, to shape effective reform plans.

2. Expanded CIJ Engagement: Invest in innovative and context-sensitive engagement strategies, supported by robust data and evidence.

3. Empower Justice Seekers: Deepen support for justice seekers, especially marginalized groups, empowering them to participate and benefit from CIJ systems.

4. Gender Justice: Prioritize women’s participation, leadership, and rights protection within CIJ systems.

5. Risk Reframing for Donors: Development partners should overcome barriers to CIJ engagement by reframing risks, investing in tools, and fostering a supportive dialogue.

6. Increase Justice Financing: Boost investment in people-centred justice, including CIJ, through pooled funds, leveraging existing resources, and engaging diverse stakeholders.

This report calls for a paradigm shift towards people-centred justice, recognizing CIJ as a vital component of inclusive and accessible justice for all.
