We are pleased to be partnering with @ug_lawsociety to provide training to criminal advocates appearing in capital cases on a pro bono basis. High quality representation on both sides is essential for a fair trial, and to avoid miscarriages of justice. @BennieAlex @lwangav70
Today, the Uganda Law Society and Evolve - Foundation for International Legal Assistance officially entered into a Memorandum of Understanding, solidifying a formal collaboration between the two organisations. This partnership aims to enhance capacity within the legal profession and elevate access to justice by offering Pro bono legal advice and assistance in capital cases. The agreement includes a commitment to providing comprehensive training and mentorship to Ugandan advocates actively engaged in such cases. Together, we aspire to strengthen the legal community's ability to address complex issues and contribute to a more just and equitable society. @Evolve_FILA @AlexBennie @lwangav70 @AdetiChristine @matsikogodwin @MNimwesiga @BarihoMichael

Sir Fazle was a humanitarian who helped us learn about development work: Building an efficient organization while never forgetting who you were doing it for. We were saddened to hear of his passing and will forever draw inspiration from his work, as will the rest of the world.
