TunisiaEUPOL COPPS supports Palestinian Ministry of Justice on Policy Development
Forming evidence-based public policy is central to address a country’s development challenges. The processes and modalities of how public policies are formulated are therefore critical to the development agenda of any government. In line with its commitment to improve Palestine’s policy development, EUPOL COPPS has undertaken various initiatives to strengthen institutional capacities and promote best practices in policy and lawmaking. To that end, the Mission supported a workshop for the Palestinian Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on Policy Development on 20 February, in Ramallah.
The roundtable gathering aimed at facilitating a discussion on the role of policy development, with a special focus on the Moroccan Judicial Observatory as a model of consideration and on international best practices. The Head of EUPOL COPPS, Karin Limdal and Palestinian Minister of Justice, Sharhabeel Alzaeem, opened the one-day workshop. Mrs. Limdal said that the event provides an invaluable opportunity to share knowledge, learn from best practices, and explore how evidence-based approaches can be embedded within the Ministry of Justice to bridge the gap between policy design and the needs of the Palestinian people. The Minister said that the MoJ plays a central role in improving the quality of its decisions that impact the lives of Palestinians, which make evidence-based policymaking even more essential.
