The Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs has successfully secured over EC$1 million in international funding and technical support to accelerate wide-ranging reforms within the Federation’s justice system. This milestone achievement, spearheaded by the Honourable Attorney General and Minister of Justice and Legal Affairs, Senator Garth Wilkin, and Permanent Secretary, Nerissa Williams, marks a strategic shift toward data-driven, rights-based, and regionally integrated approaches to justice. The Ministry’s 2025 reform programme is being delivered through robust partnerships with international and regional institutions, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), European Union-funded EL PAcCTO, UN Women, and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
