JLOS STRATEGIC INVESTMENT PLAN III
The Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) in Uganda is rated as a huge success and regional flag bearer in policy and strategic coordination in justice and
law enforcement reforms. Embedded within the national planning framework and a rights based approach, the sector-wide approach(Swap) has grown from an initial local based pilot into a collaboration that draws together over
15 institutions across family, land, commercial and criminal justice spheres.
Steeped in this success, the Sector intends to sustain this growth and its dividends. Within this investment plan, the Sector will multiply its efforts to transform the justice and law enforcement system into one that respects,promotes, protects and fulfills the fundamental rights stipulated in the Uganda Constitution of 1995.
JLOS successes in the past decade are located in law reform, institutional efficiency leading to increased responsiveness to user needs; continued
progress in sector development and in the implementation of innovations to expand JLOS services to reach out to specific groups with limited access to
justice. The initial sector investment (SIP I) 2000-2004 dipped into uncharted waters and SIP II consolidated the gains of this initial investment.
This Strategy is a living document that will continue to speak to the diverse sector institutions, development partners and non State Actors through Annual Reviews of Performance and Planning sessions. In addition and prior
to the commencement of SIP III implementation, the Sector will ensure that the rubric of institutional actions, reforms and interventions cumulatively
attain the goals of SIP III.
The development of the Strategy has benefitted from an array of views gained from a broad range of consultations including within Government- at national and regional levels; non-governmental organizations, private sector, development partners and special groups including children, prisoners etc. The process of consultations will continue through the Annual reviews of Implementation
and planning to foster both vertical and downward accountability for sector
results.
The initial section reviews the context within which the Sector operates; the achievements, prospects and lessons derived from previous performance. The
second section outlines the Strategy and its elements. The third section reviews the management arrangements; presents risks and mitigation measures and the monitoring and evaluation framework. The last section presents the SIP
III financing arrangements.
