Dambi Dollo University School of Law has been awarded a project grant certificate by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), with funding from the European Union (EU). The project, titled “Improved Access to Quality Free Legal Aid Services in the Ethiopian Criminal Justice System,” aims to enhance and broaden the university's free legal aid services, specifically targeting the Ethiopian criminal justice system.
A formal agreement was established between Dambi Dollo University and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). Ms. Ashita Mittal, the UNODC Regional Representative for East Africa, represented the UNODC and presented the grant certificate to Dr. Tadesse Regassa, the President of Dambi Dollo University.
The main goal of the project is to improve access to justice for vulnerable populations, such as women, children, detained individuals, and other marginalized groups in the Kellem and West Wellega Zones. This initiative will be carried out over a period of 16 months and aims to raise legal awareness in the targeted communities. It will provide legal advice; assist in drafting legal documents, and offer court representation for both civil and criminal matters to specific groups within these communities.
