The Supporting Tajikistan's Rule of Law Landscape program (STROLL), funded by the US Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), was launched in September 2022, and aims to enhance the rule of law and legal institutions in Tajikistan. The program focuses on building a fair, accountable, and transparent criminal justice system through developing and strengthening the Ministry of Justice’s legal defense provisions and bolstering the capacity of the Union of Advocates.
