<p>DFID plans to support a new justice and security programme from late 2013. The main objective of the programme will be to help the poorest and most vulnerable people in Nepal to secure better justice. As the project is still in its design phase, the implementing partners have not yet been identified but, these are likely to be a mixture of national justice sector institutions and non-governmental organisations. The intended results are to make the police more responsive to the communities they serve, to support a well-functioning and independent justice system and to tackle sexual and domestic violence. It is envisaged that up to £35 million will be set aside to fund this programme. The impact of the programme will be measured by regular collection of data on the justice system and by measuring the impact on beneficiaries.</p>
