The HiiL Justice Accelerator, standing for Hague Institution for Innovation of Law Justice Accelerator is looking for you to apply for the 2018 Challenge. HiiL Justice Accelerator finds and supports the best justice entrepreneurs in order to create justice for all. Though it is a global call, it is particularly targeted to applications from Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Mali, Ukraine, South Africa, Tunisia, Lebanon, Jordan, UAE and the Netherlands.
Background
The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law, in 2017, set out to support 150 million people globally, ensuring that they are able to resolve their most pressing justice needs. This was to be done by introducing innovation in the Justice ecosystem with collaboration from governments, funders, laywers, courts and entrepreneurs. Todate, HiiL has supported 7 innovations in Uganda since 2015 and 30 globally.
The competition
The challenge is in three parts, with the best innovations received through the challenge invited to pitch to a panel of judges at HiiL’s Boostcamp, which will take place in Kampala. The most promising Boostcamp participants will then be taken to The Hague in order to participate in the HiiL Justice Entrepreneur School, an intensive week-long programme of specialist business training and technical advice. Selected innovations will then take part in the HiiL Justice Accelerator programme, which runs for between three months and one year depending on the innovator’s needs.
