Please use this indicator only to measure the general situation of the legal aid system in the country, rather than the outputs of the EU-funded project (which is monitored at output level). Please add additional criteria of disaggregation if other factors represent a disadvantage in the local context (i.e. ethnic origin, religion). Public data (statistics) on access to justice for vulnerable/marginalized groups may not be collected by the government/courts so the project should be strongly encouraged from the inception phase to report on available data and plans for filling any gaps.
