The ATlP credit will support four components designed to strengthen the legal and judicial system, public oversight and watchdog institutions and to enhance public financial accountability and program management and coordination. The overall objective of the ATlP is to improve outcomes and impacts of development programs on the poor by enhancing the quality of governance. On the overall ATlP is designed to provide to different institutions implementing the NFGG, technical assistance and other capacity building measures to improve their performance. Much of this support will be in the form of consultancies, training, dissemination of information and materials, drafting new laws and procedures, equipment, furniture, vehicles, as well as a fund to support different demand -driven interventions and some infrastructure development. The infrastructure development sub-component of ATlP will fund civil works construction costs of completely new buildings; extension and rehabilitation of existing building; and demolition of existing building and construction of new buildings for selected high priority Judiciary courts including Primary Courts; District Courts; Resident Magistrates' Courts, High Court Centers and the Court of Appeal. The project will also fund construction of completely new buildings for the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs (MJCA) headquarters and the Law School and construction of a new National Records Center for the Records and Archive Division, PO - Public Service Management (PO-PSM). Consequently, much of the infrastructure will be those under the Judiciary. >. Currently the three beneficiary institutions are at different levels in the process of acquiring land for construction of the proposed buildings. The MJCA, and the President Office, Public Service Management have been allocated plots for construction of the new buildings; and the Judiciary for the Court of Appeal.
