A cost-benefit analysis report on the legal aid policy, which shows that establishing such a policy would be beneficial.

A coalition of non-governmental organisations that advocate for access to legal services for the poor is calling on the government to set a national legal aid policy to enable ordinary Ugandans access justice.

Officials of the Legal Aid Service Providers Network launched a cost-benefit analysis report on the legal aid policy, which shows that establishing such a policy would be beneficial.

Cabinet has been reviewing proposals for the policy but has long been demanding a certificate of financial implication and the potential benefits for the country if such a policy framework was to be established.

The launch of the report was attended by the Deputy Attorney General Mwesigwa Rukutana.
