South Programme III: Ensuring Sustainable Democratic Governance and Human Rights in the Southern Mediterranean (Morocco)
1st March 2018 to 29 February 2020
The "CEPEJ-South III Programme" project aims at promoting the independence, efficiency and quality of justice in the MENA region (mainly in Morocco and Tunisia, but also in Jordan) by improving the functioning of the courts and supporting the implementation of judicial reforms and the revision of relevant normative frameworks in conformity with European standards. The "CEPEJ-South III Programme" project follows the projects carried out by the CEPEJ since 2012 in the region, and aims to deepen, develop and perpetuate the actions implemented within the framework of these projects.
