ADAL is an innovative, sustainable, and impactful solution that aims to strengthen the capacity-building capabilities of Pakistan's criminal justice institutions during and beyond the Covid-19 pandemic. Through its training programs, Adal aims to enhance public confidence, access to justice, and handling of crimes and criminal cases across the sector. Criminal justice practitioners, especially women, trained under ADAL will be more empowered, perform better at their duties, and advance in their careers by using the skills and knowledge imparted through the program.
