1. Project Description

The project aims to develop subsidies (new methodologies, educational actions, studies, research and tools) for structuring, innovation and continuous improvement of the Judiciary, assisting in the training and improvement of excellence of State and Federal judges and, when possible, of court officials, so that they can promote Justice in line with society’s expectations. 

The project’s direct target audience is approximately 18,000 judges and up to 40 Judicial and Judicial Schools. Broadly speaking, the project will also bring benefits to Brazilian society as a whole, contributing to the strengthening of justice in the country.

To achieve these objectives, the project foresees the following areas of action.

Axes

1.1. Strategy for strengthening and innovating training and development actions for judges developed and implemented on a pilot basis.

1.2. Methodologies for strengthening the production and management of knowledge applied to priorities of Brazilian justice developed and implemented

1.3. Enfam’s technical and management capacity strengthening plan developed

1.4. Efficient project management and knowledge management carried out.

Regarding axis 3, the project aims to develop actions to strengthen the School’s management tools and systems, in line with the identified needs and strategic planning, including the application of innovative technologies. In this context, a new administrative and pedagogical platform for activity management is being developed, given the need to adapt the system to the latest market technologies, such as the Java framework and new modules and functionalities. 

The project is expected to be valid until December 31, 2026 and can be extended if necessary.
