Location: OECD Conference Centre, Paris
Background
Improving access to justice is critical for inclusive growth and reducing inequality. Effective access to justice spurs economic development by helping create equal opportunities for all.
The OECD seeks to foster a dialogue on the quality, responsiveness and accessibility of justice services, and their impact on broader social and economic outcomes, under the auspices of the OECD Public Governance Committee. The OECD held a series of expert roundtables on Equal Access to Justice to identify and facilitate the exchange of good practices among Member and Partner countries.
The discussions contributed to the development of the OECD Inclusive Growth and Trust in Institutions Agendas.
