The Legal Empowerment of the Poor (LEP): Fostering Full Enjoyment of Land and Property Rights is a UNDP-led programme financed by UNDP DGTTF. The Project’s national implementing partner is the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. The project supports the Government, particularly the Ministry of Justice and other stakeholders, in providing legal assistance and information to the citizens to effectively exercise their property and land rights. The Project aims at the effective system of free legal, ensuring all small landowners know their rights and understand the economic benefit of land/property ownership. The Project assists the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine in various educational activities and programs, educational seminars on land and property rights for state and non-state legal aid providers, publication of brochures, handouts, support in preparation of methodological recommendation on practical use of land and property legislation. In light of the recent adoption of the Law on free legal aid in Ukraine, there is a need for legal aid providers to study international experience and best practices of national system of free legal aid. The national system of free legal aid in Netherlands, set down by Legal Aid Act, mainly financed by the state, proved to be one of the most effective systems of free legal aid in Europe. It is expected that 11 employees of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine (including 6 employees from 3 Project pilot regions) will take part in the study tour to Netherlands to learn the experience and best practices of national system of free legal aid provision and administration. | |
