The regional project was implemented on behalf of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH with particular focus on the partner countries Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal and Tanzania. Within the ProLa II Framework, the project supports the improved access to justice for vulnerable citizens, especially women, and for small economic actors, while also promoting easier access to legal information for legal practitioners.
The published studies address key prerequisites for transparency and effective justice systems in the digital age. They include:
- A legal framework study in Senegal on the publication of judgments, laws and administrative regulations: https://www.digiface.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Study-A-May-2025.pdf
