1.    Project Background:

The (ConJusticia) activity aims to increase accountability and improve citizen confidence in government by promoting greater effectiveness of the Mexican criminal justice system, primarily at the Mexican state level, through the implementation and institutionalization of more efficient justice sector processes, systems, and structures.

·       Objective 1: Individual justice sector institutions use data and analysis and streamline internal processes in order to prioritize and fully prosecute higher-level, serious criminal cases.

·       Objective 2: Justice sector actors within the various institutions collaborate across institutions on policy, operations, resource allocations, information sharing, tools, and processes resulting in improved prosecutions and reductions in impunity.
