The Swedish National Courts Administration (SNCA) during the spring of 2022 (tent. from March) will initiate the implementation of a multi-year development cooperation Project together with the Academy of Justice of the Republic of Armenia (AoJ) and the Armenian Supreme Judicial Council (SJC). The over-arching objective of the Project is to support Armenian judges to meet the new expectations on the judiciary and thereby raising public trust in the judiciary.
The intermediate objectives of the Project are the following:
1) Enhanced awareness among judges on ethics, anti-corruption and integrity;
2) Increased professionality among judges in communication with parties and others in accordance with their needs and well-founded expectations;
3) Enhanced awareness and capacity among judges to communicate proactively with media;
4) Improved framework for judges' contacts with the media.
The Project will take aim at developing the craft of judging by delivering interactive skills-based trainings for judges to increase their skills in pro-active communication with the parties, the public and the media. The Project will also support some policy development and the development of regulations, guidelines, templates and other practical tools for judges. All activities will be based on peer-to-peer learning whereby active judges in the Swedish Courts will be engaged in the implementation of trainings, seminars, discussions and policy development.
The Project will establish a Project Office, based in Yerevan, that will coordinate the implementation of all activities in cooperation with the SNCA, the AoJ and the SJC. The Project Office will consist of a Swedish Project Coordinator and two Armenian Project Officers. The Project Office will work closely to implement activities together with Project Team Leaders from the SNCA HQ/Sweden and the Project Team Leaders from the SJC, the AoJ and two Pilot Courts.
The Project Officer, Court Development, will work under the direct supervision of the Project Coordinator, and focus primarily on the implementation of activities together with the SJC, focusing on policy development and method development in Armenian courts.
