EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Administration of Justice Suppon (AOJS) Projm was designed to promote reform and impmvrmmt in the civil coun system in Egypt. thus supponing strategic priorities of the hlinist~ of Justice (5101). Tk Project was directly linked to Special Objective ?I: Egyptian Initiatives in Govern~ne and Panicipation Slrengthened, one of the key strategic objectives ofthc United States Agency for Intcmational Development Mission in Egypt (USAIDIEgypl). involving an improved civil legal systcnl in Egypt. AOJS sought to contribute to the achicvcment of nvo key results: improved efficiency in nro pilot coun systrms. and improved judges' knowledge and application of Egyptian civil law. USAIDEgypt awarded the contract for the AOJS Project to America- Mideast Educational and Training Services. Inc. (AMIDEAST) on March 28. 19%; AMIDEST had two subcontnctors fca~urcd in its technical proposal: the National Center for State Couns bawd in Williamsbua. Viqini* and Syuemr Raearth Egypt (SRE) based in Cairo. The Project ActiviIy Completion Date is hlmh 31. 2004. In order to conduct its planned interventions and achieve its expected mults, the Projm mived tom1 funding of US. Dollars 18.4 million and Egptian Pounds 2.960.000 (frnm FT-SO0 funds: this amount is cguinlent to approximately US. Dollars 483.660 at the avenge exchange rate of 6-12 for Deccmbcr 200;) from USAIDEgypt. In planning and executing ia various interventions. the Project worked clowly with four pmm uvrk units within the MOJ: the Nonh Cairn Coun of First Instance ( KC) and thc lsmailia Coun of First lmlum (ISC) as the two targeted pilot couns. the National Center for Judicial Studies (NCJS). and thc Judicial Information Ccnter (JIC). A professional pannership with these work units. as well as with mlcvant USAIDEgypt olfices and other stakeholders. led to positive working relationships and significantly contributed to the achievement of expected project targets. AOJS engaged in a numbcr ofspecifically designed and integrated lasks to suppon cspccted mults. Thew lasks focused on constituency building. institutional development of the NCJS. targeted judicial and waff training, streamlining and automation ofpilot coun procedum, among others. The Projcct's vork sought to create the necessary structures, systems and capacity to suppon enhanced proccdum and practices at thc hvo pilot courts. It also focused on transferring rquisite tools and cxpenise in order for pmnm to bc ablc to sustain performance irnprovcment results beyond the life ofthe project^ AOJS's work with its parlncrs resulted in a marked impact on case management pnctica. suwairuble rwc- of-the-an systems and procedures at the two pilot couns. increased administrativc capacities at SCJS. enhanced insiitutional capacity at the JIC. observable human resource development. inmad l+r).m' confidence in and salisfaclion with the two pilot couns, and strong constituencies to scppon and sustain achieved reforms. Significant impact on case management practices to address the backlog of older cases The Project worked closely with the panncr institutions to significanrly impact case processing p rduro and judicial casc management. A numbcr of administralivc proccdum wrc streamlined anaor engineered to increase efficiency and elTectiveness. AOJS made a conccned effon to encourage the no pilot couns to .',.;as on old- cases and to bins those casa lo closure, thus clearing the couns' backlogged cascs and making it possible for judicial and administrative cadres to concentnte on expediting neurr cases. The Project's work in th~s area culminated in 2002. when a marked increase was obscn~d in case processing tin~c. with 15.7 monlhs elapsing hom casc initiation to disposition. This increase marked a positive trend in both thc NCC and thc ISC. with judicial and administrative slam usins automated systems to track older cases. bringing lhow to fiml disposition and clearing the couns' backlog ofoldcr c.xes. This positive trend rcls in Lccpin: \rith priont~cs voiced by the Minister ofJustice with rezard to clearing the backlo; ofolder cases at Egyptian couns. This trend conlinued through <strong>2003</strong>. with case processing time from initiation to disposblion averaging 17.5
