The "Strengthening Restorative Justice" project, co-financed by the European Union through the ADELANTE Programme, aimed to promote alternative solutions to incarceration, fostering a more humane and equitable justice system that provides opportunities to vulnerable populations. By enhancing the application of restorative justice in criminal and juvenile systems across Costa Rica, Colombia, and Mexico, the initiative sought to reduce recidivism, facilitate social reintegration, and address the root causes of criminal behaviour. Through collaborative efforts among judicial institutions, the project emphasized knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the development of comprehensive public policies supporting restorative practices.
