The World Justice Project each year opens World Justice Challenge for individuals, organizations and entities from any country around the world and is designed to incubate practical, on-the-ground programs that advance the rule of law. Around 10-15 projects are supported with Seed Grant to advance the rule of law.
The World Justice Challenge was established to support the action-oriented programs conceived by the multidisciplinary coalitions formed at WJP events. Implementers are working on a variety of rule of law initiatives—from advancing gender equity in Africa to combating environmental degradation corruption in Asia —across the globe.
Since its founding, the WJP has provided over $1,000,000 in financial, communications, and network support to initiatives on five continents, from improving food security in Haiti to access to health care in Cameroon to tackling corruption in India.
