ActionAid's CLEAP-Justice (Citizens' Led Engagements on Judicial Accountability in Post-Election Justice Delivery in Nigeria) project aims to promote accountability in post-election justice delivery in Nigeria by increasing civic consciousness and engagement in electoral adjudication processes. This citizen-driven initiative, funded by the Ford Foundation, seeks to hold tribunals and court judges accountable for transparent justice, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and independent judicial system. As the overall goal, the project seeks to contribute towards a more accountable post-election justice dispensation in Nigeria through citizens' actions.
Specifically, our approach seeks to:
Objective 1: Build citizens’ consciousness on the statutory roles of the judiciary in dispensing election-related justice.
Objective 2: Support citizen and citizen group actions that will promote accountability of the judges and lawyers towards the dispensation of justice in electoral cases.
Objective 3: Strengthen the institution of Judiciary through soft interventions.
