International Institute for Justice and Development (IIJD) Inc is an
international not-for-profit, non-partisan, consulting, charitable and
educational corporation specialized on Justice and Development issues.
Founded in 2001 to promote the principles of democratic governance and
the Rule of Law for all people nationally and internationally, IIJD’s
mission focuses on the underlying causes of poverty, development crisis,
and seeks to address the startling weaknesses often found in the
development field through an innovative top-down and bottom-up approach.
The IIJD actively advocates for systemic reform and support capacity
building.
Through its top-down methodology, the IIJD considers the development of
an independent judiciary and access to a free and fair justice system to
be among the most important factors in advancing democracy,
establishing good governance, protecting human rights, and assuring
sustainable development. Only through the reform of the systems of
governance can we combat corruption, demand accountability, secure
investments, and create an incentive for educated and capable citizens
to stay and contribute to their countries' futures. In addition to
confronting the underlying causes of poverty at the international and
national levels, the IIJD works at the local level to strengthen civil
society.
Through its bottom-up methodology which includes working with local
grassroots organizations to address community-defined problems, the IIJD
supports local capacity-building and community-based development
through its Development Program. Using local expertise to design and
implement community-based projects, the IIJD reinforces the efforts of
its partners with resources and expertise to achieve long-term
solutions. We firmly believe at IIJD that only by combining these two
efforts can we address the issues of development aid effectiveness, and
most importantly, poverty alleviation on a global scale. International
Institute for Justice and Development (IIJD), Inc., seeks dedicated,
flexible, creative, self-starter individuals, talented and committed
individuals to assist in our efforts to promote Justice and Development
solutions worldwide. IIJD intends to work with professionals from
