Independent proposal for public review. Evidence date: 4 November 2026. Pilot sizes, targets and institutional roles are proposed. Baselines, institutional acceptance, quotations, specialist review and funding require confirmation before implementation.

People receive timely, fair justice and responsive support when harmed.

Proposed pilot: One consenting court registry and its authorised referral partners; select a defined case class after judicial and administrative consultation.

Justifications

IDB has supported criminal-justice strengthening [S9]. This historical reference requires an overlap check; the new proposal addresses administrative case visibility and referral continuity.

Analysis

2040 citizen vision

People receive timely, fair justice and responsive support when harmed.

Proposed pilot and beneficiaries

One consenting court registry and its authorised referral partners; select a defined case class after judicial and administrative consultation.

Rationale and evidence

IDB has supported criminal-justice strengthening [S9]. This historical reference requires an overlap check; the new proposal addresses administrative case visibility and referral continuity.

Delivery approach

  1. Audit case age, adjournment reasons, document readiness and referral bottlenecks without interfering with judicial decisions.
  2. Agree registry checklists, scheduling responsibilities and secure records procedures under court authority.
  3. Improve victim-support and legal-assistance referrals through qualified organisations and private follow-up.

First 90 days from authorised start

Days 1–30: judicial/agency agreement and confidentiality review. Days 31–60: baseline audit and process design. Days 61–90: pilot approved registry routines and referral tracking.

Months 4–12

Review case-flow indicators, procedural fairness and user access with authorised oversight. Publish aggregate data with context and safeguards against perverse incentives.

Proposed accountability and competencies

Proposed lead: consenting judicial administration for registry processes; relevant legal/public-safety agencies for their own services. Partners: legal aid and qualified victim-support providers. Skills: court administration, legal review, secure records and social support.

Resources, funding and recurrent costs

Cost registry audit, authorised staff time, training, secure record improvements and referral coordination. Confirm annual staffing and support capacity before expansion.

Feasibility and expansion gate

Require judicial independence, lawful confidentiality, due process and safety for vulnerable users. Case-speed targets must be reviewed alongside fairness and complexity.

Measurement and proposed pilot thresholds

Baseline status: pending local verification for every measure. Confirm definitions, sample, reporting owner and realistic thresholds before implementation. All percentage-point changes use the same defined cohort; relative reductions are calculated against the verified baseline.

Type / measure Definition Proposed target Data owner / cadence
Result · Age of unresolved pilot cases Median days since filing among unresolved selected cases, with case-mix breakdown. Proposed: 15% reduction after 12 months, subject to court approval. Court data officer; quarterly
Result · Support referral completion Verified first support contact ÷ accepted referrals due ×100. Proposed: 80%. Authorised support coordinator; monthly
Activity · Administrative readiness checks Files checked against court-approved checklist before scheduled event ÷ files due ×100. Proposed: 95%. Registry supervisor; monthly
Activity · Adjournment reasons recorded Adjournments with authorised reason code ÷ adjournments ×100. Proposed: 95%. Registry data lead; monthly

Complementary initiative

Community Safety and Road-Injury Prevention: select one evidence-defined hotspot for coordinated prevention, safe road design and response improvements, with rights protections and independent outcome review.

Proposed 2030 milestone

By 2030, participating institutions sustain secure case-flow records and accessible, verified support pathways.

Evidence confidence and required verification

Low to medium; current caseload, legal permissions and programme overlap pending.

Evidence and sources

[S9] [S9] IDB: Support for the Criminal Justice System, GY-L1044

Historical programme reference for coordination and duplication checks. Current case backlogs and programme status require verification.

The earlier roadmap research informs this proposal. Read the portfolio roadmap and review standard.

Funding status: Uncommitted. Proposed institutional roles require acceptance. Next editorial review: 4 February 2027, or earlier when material evidence changes.
