The Permanent Missions to the United Nations of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and France, the Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies (NYU CIC), ODI, Namati, HiiL, UNDP, and USAID are delighted to invite you to a meeting on Financing People-Centered Justice: Underwriting a systemic shift towards Justice for All on the sidelines of HLPF 2023.

This event seeks to bring together countries interested in pivoting to people-centered justice, justice practitioners, researchers, and justice donors to discuss what financing of people-centered justice looks like in practice.

How do we fund effective solutions which serve people and close the justice gap? It will delve into questions of what (should be funded), why (should it be funded?), who (should fund it) and where (context specificity).
