Why Uganda Should Embrace Open Justice to Improve Judicial Transparency and Accountability
Open justice is essential to transparency, accountability, and public trust in Uganda’s judiciary.

Limited access to centralized human rights data undermines accountability, reporting, and justice. Expanding open data practices can strengthen evidence-based advocacy, reduce bias, and empower citizens, civil society, and institutions to more effectively monitor and address human rights violations.
