UNDP and LAC Empower Legal Aid with Paralegal Training.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in collaboration with Ghana’s Legal Aid Commission (LAC), has launched a new initiative to provide paralegal training aimed at bolstering access to legal aid services for underrepresented and vulnerable populations across Ghana. This training seeks to bridge the justice gap by empowering individuals with foundational legal knowledge, enabling them to assist communities in need of legal support but who may struggle to access formal legal representation.This program will train selected community members as paralegals, equipping them with essential skills to handle basic legal issues, advocate for clients, and navigate Ghana's legal system. It is part of a broader effort by the UNDP and LAC to build legal capacity at the grassroots level, strengthening the reach of legal aid services across rural and urban regions in Ghana.
