Abstract
This cost-benefit study was undertaken to assess the outcomes of community-based justice services (paralegal NGOs) and to make recommendations on strategies for scaling up access to justice in Sierra Leone. The project’s outcomes include: evidence for policy makers to be used in decision making related to justice funding priorities; generation of reference material for future research; network building and collaboration with researchers in Canada, Kenya and South Africa; experience in building and managing research teams; and change in the data management system of community-based justice providers. Lack of data limits advocacy capabilities of justice activists, and affects government and donors’ decision making capacities.
