Update from Arba Minch

The joint class of Arba Minch and Oxford Brookes students at the Abaya campus

Richard Carver writes:

The joint group of students from Oxford Brookes and Arba Minch are out doing interviews this afternoon. Over the past two days they have been gathering information on the Arba Minch law school’s legal aid programme. By the end of the week they will prepare a proposal for a full capacity assessment. Today they are interviewing both clients of the programme and legal aid providers.

This morning’s class was a detailed preparation for two monitoring visits to be conducted tomorrow: to a police station and the local prison. There was guidance on the issues to be looked at, as well as the dos and don’ts of visiting closed institutions.

Students from CENDEP’s Development and Emergency Practice Masters programme are in Arba Minch under the partnership between the two universities. Click here for more details.
