dc.description.abstractSustainable Development Goal 16 refers to access to justice in all its myriad forms. Writers on SDG16 draw attention to the important role played by everyday justice providers such as paralegals in improving access to justice, particularly for indigenous peoples. They point out the justice gap that exists because indigenous people do not approach the formal justice system because of the alien language and culture they encounter. SG16 urges governments to ensure access to justice for all, particularly marginalised and indigenous people. Community-based paralegals (CBPs) can help to close this gap in access to justice This chapter explores the features of African knowledge that were revealed by participants during focus groups and interviews, as well as through the case narratives that were reviewed.en
