What happened at the mainstreaming meetings?
The World Justice Project brought together more than 240 leaders from 72 countries at its five regional meetings in the United States, the Czech Republic, Argentina, Singapore and Ghana. At each of these meetings, leaders from such fields as business, education, journalism, law and medicine have discussed the rule of law and unanimously concluded that the rule of law is essential to the success of their professional efforts and to their communities. The meeting in Ghana also launched the World Justice Projects pilot small grants program, which is funding initiatives by faith, labor, public health, womens rights and other organizations to advance the rule of law in 11 Sub-Saharan African countries. In the United States, similar multidisciplinary outreach meetings are being sponsored by state bar associations and other local organizations to develop networks and initiatives to strengthen the rule of law at the U.S. state level.
