Local Ownership in Practice: Justice System Reform in Kosovo and Liberia

Attachments

Achieving local ownership is crucial for the success of justice reform programmes as part of international rule of law assistance and security sector reform (SSR) activities.

It thereby seeks to foster a better understanding of the concept and its implementation in practice.
