Initiative for Legal Aid (ILA)

Our work

Our Programmes

ILA implements integrated programmes designed to promote access to justice, strengthen the rule of law, protect human rights and empower communities throughout South Sudan.

Our programmes are informed by community needs, national development priorities and international standards. They combine direct legal assistance with advocacy, research, institutional strengthening, civic education and community engagement — addressing both the immediate legal needs of individuals and the structural causes of injustice.
