OVERVIEW

ADALAT’s (“justice” in Dari and Pashto) objective is to improve citizen access to justice. ADALAT increases efficiency and integrity in the formal justice system through technical assistance and the development of more robust court systems and procedures.

At the same time, ADALAT works to create stronger linkage between the formal and informal justice sectors and greater consistency in the application of Afghan law by traditional dispute resolution actors.
