“Bringing Justice to Health” is a 4-day meeting organized by the Open Society Public Health Program in collaboration with the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), the Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA), and Namati. The overall objective of the donor convening scheduled for the last day, following a series of site visits, is to highlight the health benefits of access to justice interventions for marginalized populations and criminalized populations (including legal empowerment projects), examine best practices, and explore donor collaboration to bring more resources to this field and to pursue a strategic and coordinated approach to this work.
