Project Background:

The USAID Programa para el Fortalecimiento de Instituciones de Justicia Penal Estatal (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.

The CONJUSTICIA activity will be implemented to achieve the following three objectives:

Objective 1: Individual justice sector institutions use data and analysis and streamline internal processes in order to prioritize and fully prosecute higherlevel, 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.
Objective 3: Results of institutional strengthening, collaboration, and reform are sustainable over time through durable partnerships among key local stakeholders (GOM, individual states, civil society, private sector).
