WELCOME

The Afghanistan Justice Sector Support Program (JSSP) is a multi-pronged effort to develop and strengthen the capacity of the Afghanistan criminal justice sector institutions and the justice professionals working in these institutions.  In addition, the program promotes the institution of indigent criminal defense and provides coordination and cooperation between defense lawyers and other actors within the criminal justice system.

The program began in August 2005, and has since grown to over 60 United States and Afghan justice sector advisors working in Kabul and in four Afghanistan provinces.

The primary purpose of this website is to enable the interested public to obtain information regarding JSSP’s mission and the publications that explain JSSP’s goals and accomplishments.  This site also contains links to other websites that may be useful as a resource for information on Afghan laws and law reform activities in Afghanistan; these links should not be construed as an endorsement of the content contained in any of these websites.  In addition, this site contains recruitment information on JSSP job opportunities; information about us; and contacts for additional information regarding JSSP.
