Abstract International actors providing justice sector and human rights aid in Sub-Saharan Africa are confronted with several considerable challenges. In the first place, they face a context of legal pluralism, where state justice is not dominant. At the same time, state justice has historically benefited from a privileged epistemological position... International development actors start to grapple with these realities in a context that presents contradicotry dynamics.The shift towards poverty reduction means that they are more prone to engage with local realities, including local legal orders, and support the implementation of human rights at this level, whereas new aid modalities centre development assistance arround state institutions.
