The just-launched World Justice Challenge 2021 Community Forum is a new online space for the rule of law community working on the themes of the 2021 World Justice Challenge—access to justice, fundamental rights and nondiscrimination, accountable governance, and anti-corruption and open governance. The Community Forum is your way to engage directly with finalist projects, share knowledge, and drive action on rule of law issues and solutions. Join the community to:

  • Ask Questions to Finalists: Community members will be able to ask questions directly to World Justice Challenge finalists as they prepare to vote for a winner of one of six cash prizes.
  • Network with the Rule of Law Community: Community members will be able to network with peers from around the world to compare notes on common challenges and solutions.
  • Share Resources: Community members will be able to share and view resources and events of interest.

Join the discussion and help us build stronger rule of law values, institutions, and communities around the world during this time of crisis.
