As the interim government is working to bring reform in the judiciary, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is providing support for digitalising Bangladesh’s judiciary to make it fully independent.
Through expert assessments and technical advice, the UNDP is helping the judiciary adopt modern digital systems for case management, court proceedings, and public services.
“This not only enhances efficiency but also reduces opportunities for corruption and external influence, thereby reinforcing judicial autonomy,” Stefan Liller, Resident Representative of UNDP Bangladesh, said.
With an emphasis on national leadership of the justice reform process, he said, the UNDP is helping build sustainable in-house capacity within the judiciary.
This model promotes ownership and internal resilience, allowing the judiciary to independently drive and manage reform processes over the long term, Stefan added.
The UNDP is also supporting the Supreme Court in setting up a hotline for court users to report practice of abuse of office including in violation of judicial independence.বিস্তারিত
