The localisation of justice reform efforts in justice zones with justice coordination policy, provides a potential entry point for many of the proposed interventions, as it allows for a better focus on justice needs, and the potential engagement of other actors at the local level, as well as the tackling of first levels of justice provision or access-i.e. barangay justice system."}, {"bbox": [96, 469, 1160, 670], "category": "Text", "text": "The expected impact of this Action is to contribute to a better socio-economic development in the Philippines through a more effective, inclusive and accountable justice system.
