Sustainable change cannot be achieved unless they are reflected in the regulations and behaviour of government institutions. AJAR works in contexts where dictatorships and authoritarian regimes have left deep scars in government institutions, the courts, and the judiciary, leaving them corrupt, weak and inefficient. It therefore seeks out and identifies influential voices in government to participate in trainings and workshops on institutional reform.
