In support of Democracy International’s Promoting Peace and Justice (DI-PPJ) project, New-Rule Senior Technical Director, Kyra Buchko, traveled to Dhaka, Bangladesh, from September 27 to October 10, 2019. The primary goals of her trip were to: (1) introduce the International Consortium for Court Excellence (ICCE) and the International Framework for Court Excellence (IFCE) to selected stakeholders within the Bangladesh Judiciary; (2) secure stakeholder buy-in and support for the planned activities and subsequent application of the Bangladesh Judiciary for membership in the ICCE; and (3) pilot/administer the IFCE-based, tailored self-assessment tool with several district courts and the Judicial Administration Training Institute (JATI).   Ultimately, approximately 180 Bangladeshi professionals completed the IFCE self-assessment.  New-Rule is currently analyzing these responses.
