Organised by the Information Services and Systems Agency (ASSI), the scoping workshop brought together key players from the digital and digitalisation sector and from the justice sector. The aims of the proceedings were to:
- Present the project framework and the methodology envisaged for its implementation;
- Gather contributions from the various stakeholders;
- Rally all stakeholders around the delivery of this cross-cutting project.
e-justice is a project of the Government of the Republic of Benin that aims to set up a comprehensive information system for managing all criminal and civil proceedings. It covers connectivity, interconnection between all courts and other entities, the creation of a sectoral network for justice that will be interconnected with other sectoral networks, the digitisation of processes and, finally, the equipment component, which involves modernising existing equipment.
At the opening of the proceedings, the two Ministers stressed the need for the full commitment of all stakeholders. They also gave guidance to the ASSI teams and to the firm responsible for drawing up the terms of reference for the e-justice project.
