JUPITER uses qualitative and quantitative data to evaluate both de jure and de facto justice delivery metrics, identifying gaps in the legal framework and its implementation and creating comparable metrics to benchmark against similar indicators and other economies. The study focuses on the system\u2019s effectiveness in service delivery across three areas: Access to Justice, Efficiency, and Quality. JUPITER aims to identify strengths and areas of improvement in these key areas, serving as a basis for policy dialogue.","geographic_units":[{"name":"South Sudan","code":"SSD","type":"Country"}],"output":[{"description":" ","title":"Supporting Access To Justice In South Sudan: A 2025 Jupiter Assessment","type":"World Bank Reports & Flagships","authors":"Erica Bosio, Virginia Upegui Caro","uri":"https:\/\/hdl.handle.net\/10986\/43163"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"disclaimer":"The materials in the reproducibility packages are distributed as they were prepared by the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development\/The World Bank.
