Introduction This document provides an update on the Global Forum on Law, Justice and Development’s progress since the first meeting of the Interim Steering Committee on February 28, 2012, and outlines the key achievements made possible by the coalition of intellectual partners (across continents, disciplines, and roles) who combined their efforts and expertise in order to share valuable knowledge on Law, Justice and Development.

In addition, this document aims at: Helping intellectual partners to decide, based on the latest developments, to join additional

Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) or Communities of Practice (CoPs) or switch to different ones Allowing the Interim Steering Committee, based on developments since its first meeting on

February 28, to provide directions to the Secretariat; Allowing co-leaders and members of each TWG to have the overall picture of the work of other

TWGs, avoid overlaps and identify possible synergies in the elaboration of their respective work programs;

Assisting potential new intellectual and financial partners in making an informed decision on joining the GFLJD.

In view of the above objectives, this document is not meant to be exhaustive. The website www.globalforumljd.org is a source of additional information and the Interim Secretariat is also available to provide details upon request at [email protected]. You can also contact Hassane Cisse, [email protected] or the Interim Secretariat: Marco Nicoli at (202) 473-0304 [email protected], Harold Epineuse [email protected], Andrea Testa [email protected], Dolie Schein ([email protected] ), Georgina Wiese [email protected], Matteo Mazzoni [email protected], Janice Kim Song [email protected]

Key Achievements Intellectual partners — Based on an indicative categorization, the current 144 partners include government/quasi government institutions, International Financial Institutions, International Organizations, judiciaries, think-tanks/research institutes/NGOs, and Universities. (cf. Annex I, List of Partners).

Governance — The current governance structure is composed of the Interim Steering Committee (founding partners), the Interim Secretariat, five Thematic Working Groups, and several Communities of Practice, some already functioning and other being considered either as sub-groups in the TWGs or to stand alone.

As of November 4, 2013

Charter and complementary documents — The Charter and a series of complementary documents1 addressing specific topics have been refined through a participatory process with inputs from partners. The final version will be submitted for adoption to the next Interim Steering Committee.

Web and ICT Platform – Burton Blatt Institute has provided the web site and excellent qualified technical support for all the meetings of the Interim Steering Committee, Thematic Working Groups and Communities of Practice (including a two-week long e-discussion). Starting from mid-August the GFLJD Secretariat has adopted as ICT platform “Collaboration for Development (C4D)”, a secure social collaboration platform hosted by the World Bank Group, that will enable online brainstorming, consultations, discussions, knowledge-sharing and learning among GFLJD partners. GFLJD TWGs and CoP co-leaders have been trained and dedicated virtual spaces have been created for each TWG and CoP.

Work Programs — Partners of TWGs and CoPs have developed and submitted a total of 22 Work Programs (cf. Annex II, Summary Work Programs).
