LASPNET Meets with ROLE UK

On 17th September 2015, LASPNET met with a team from Role UK which is conducting research into areas prioritized for development in the rule of law space in Uganda and to identify Ugandan project partners they may be able to work with. The team consisted of Nigel Priestly, Ranjit Uppal and Charlotte Cracombe.

The LASPNET team consisted of Ms.Sylvia Namubiru Mukasa, the Executive Director, and Ms.Berna Bakidde Kiberu, the Programmes Manager.

 

 

The discussion centered on equipping lawyers, psycho social experts, paralegals, community legal volunteers and other professionals with skills to effectively handle reported and unreported cases through public interest litigation.

The Rule of Law Expertise Programme (ROLE UK) is a new initiative funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) which aims to support rule of law programming internationally. Support is provided by facilitating access to UK legal experts (judges, solicitors, barristers, legislative draftsmen, magistrates and UK government) to provide specialist information, advice, mentoring, training or other assistance to improve the policies, capacity and practices underpinning the rule of law. The programme also shares lessons and best practices to improve the co-ordination of the international pro-bono legal sector.
