The implementing partner, Réseau des Journalistes pour les Droits de l’Homme (RJDH), is increasing citizens’ knowledge about human rights and facilitating their access to public justice services. To this end, the implementing partner is training public, private and community media journalists on access to public justice services and human rights. RJDH is also broadcasting eight (8) radio programmes on crime prevention and management; organizing guided tours of judicial services for local journalists from public, private and community media; and organizing a meeting between customary, religious and judicial authorities on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms. Finally,  RJDH is supporting  the organization of a series of fairground hearings by local magistrates on ADR mechanisms, judicial procedures and free legal assistance for community members from Niamey and Dosso, with a focus on vulnerable and marginalized groups.
