The benefits from the reform will be preserved by ensuring that the reforms are sustainable. To achieve this, the JLOS will strengthen its institutions, but also integrate the reforms into the ordinary course of business of each institution through “buy in” into the reforms following a comprehensive information strategy about the reforms and through change management strategies.

The SIP II is an all inclusive strategy for ensuring justice for all. External stakeholders are expected to influence policy and practice. Civil society organizations and the private sector now constitute the JLOS working groups because of their monitoring, advocacy and feedback function with the sector. Their complementary role in enhancing access to justice will also be recognized and nurtured through strategic partnerships.

The public as rights holders are the beneficiaries of the sector reform programme. Therefore to respond to their concerns, the sector will involve the communities it is programmes and structures through users committees.

As the JLOS increases access to justice it will ensure that the quality of services it delivers is also enhanced by developing innovative and achievable strategies. During implementation, the sector will further integrate cross cutting issues in the JLOS operations through mainstreaming and use of inter-sectoral linkages.

The sector faced constraints during implementation of the first plan, such as delays in the law reform process and an inadequate sector budget. Over the course of the programme, the sector will extend its information strategy on the JLOS priorities and reform programme at higher levels. The sector will therefore enhance political support of the Cabinet and Parliament for the reforms.

Investment in the JLOS reform programme means that the sector has to account through demonstration of progress. The monitoring and evaluation framework of the sector has been strengthened and further interventions will be made to improve its management information systems.
