Justice Sector Support Project (JSSP): Peru’s criminal justice system faces significant challenges. Judicial processes are characterized by a lack of transparency, overload of cases, and lengthy delays. Justice sector institutions are hampered by limited resources and, according to public surveys, are broadly perceived to be corrupt. At the same time, access to justice is limited by an insufficient number of judges and court staff, case overload, cost of lawsuits, cultural and gender barriers, and fragmented service delivery. The United States Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, is seeking applications from qualified Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Educational Institutions and other qualified organizations for a Cooperative Agreement to implement a program entitled “Justice Sector Support Project (JSSP).”
