Guidance for Promoting Judicial Independence and Impartiality -- IFES Judicial Independence Guide
IFES and USAID partnered on a first-of-a-kind multi-year global research project that focused exclusively on issues pertaining to judicial independence. The aim of the resultant publication, Guidance for Promoting Judicial Independence and Impartiality (the Guide), is to identify, organize, and strategically assess the array of judicial independence issues and to share lessons learned and programming experiences with USAID program officers, donors, reformers and civil society. The Guide contains consensus findings, lessons learned, and comparative information gleaned from global surveys, thematic papers, roundtables and the contributions of numerous pro bono advisors. As highlighted in the Guide, transparency reforms, if collectively and strategically undertaken, are among the most important reforms because they promote public participation, open government, access to information, efficiency, and higher quality decision-making. The Guide is now available in Arabic, English, Español, and Français.
