South Programme III - Ensuring Sustainable Democratic Governance and Human Rights in the Southern Mediterranean

March 2018 - December 2020

The activities carried out by the CEPEJ within the framework of joint Programme “Ensuring sustainable democratic governance and human rights in the Southern Mediterranean” (South Programme 3), are co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe.

The "CEPEJ-South Programme III project: Ensuring Sustainable Democratic Governance and Human Rights in the Southern Mediterranean" 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.
