97 CA-3-A032113001 2025-03-04T06:33:31 Judicial Development and Grassroots Engagement Project activities focus on developing capacities required for Vietnam to transform itself into a state "ruled by law". This project responds to the capacity building needs in the Vietnamese legal-judicial sector by working with the Supreme People's Court, the Ministry of Justice, and select civil society organizations to improve the administration of justice in Vietnam and increase knowledge of, and access to, the legal system, particularly for poor and disadvantaged groups. In particular, the project focuses on building the capacity of the Ministry of Justice's Judicial Academy and the Supreme People's Court's Judicial Training School to develop strategic plans and deliver quality professional skills training to legal and judicial personnel, in line with international legal standards and principles, including gender equality principles. Support is also provided for the planning and implementation of a Supreme People's Court strategic plan for the administration and procedural reform of courts. In addition, the project works to enhance the capacity of two to three Vietnamese civil society organisations to help them actively engage in the legal reform policymaking process and deliver sustainable and appropriate dispute resolution services to the poor, women, and ethnic minorities. The implementation of this project is a collaborative effort between Agriteam, the Government of Alberta, the University of Alberta, and the Canadian International Institute of Applied Negotiation.

These have contributed to: (i) reducing wait times for citizens filing petitions from 14 days (average for all three provinces) in 2009 to four days in 2012 in model courts; and (ii) improving citizens’ access to court documents such as judgments by reducing wait times from two days to a matter of minutes in model courts. By December 2012, these court administration reforms were being replicated at the district-level courts in the three provinces and the Supreme People's Court plans to replicate them to other courts in Vietnam. This has contributed to more efficient, accessible, and service-oriented courts, which leads to a better administration of justice in Vietnam.
