Phase One
The Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption (RoLAC) Programme phase one was a European Union-funded initiative implemented by the British Council to enhance good governance in Nigeria. The programme aimed to strengthen the rule of law and curb corruption by driving key reforms within the criminal justice system, improving access to justice for vulnerable groups, and fostering public accountability.
The overall objective is to enhance good governance in Nigeria by contributing to the strengthening of the rule of law and curbing corruption. More specifically, it will target and support:
- The implementation of the Nigerian Criminal Justice Reform agenda to improve on the timeliness, effectiveness and transparency of the system
- Increasing access to justice for women, children and persons with disabilities
- Strengthening the fight against corruption in the criminal justice sector, public procurement and the extractive industries
- Enhance citizens' civic and public engagement in criminal justice sector reforms and the fight against corruption
