Tetra Tech is helping enhance security, law and justice systems that support communities and economies to thrive.
Establishing stability is essential before a country can determine the best future for its people. Crime can be reduced and prevented by building community security and justice approaches—including improved oversight mechanisms, policy development, institutional strengthening and public engagement.
Tetra Tech supports integrated security and chain of justice reforms by working with local, regional and national government institutions and with informal justice and legal systems. Our work spans many conflict and post-conflict settings, including Iraq, Pakistan and Timor-Leste.
Police and justice system strengthening
At Tetra Tech, we help security and justice providers become more credible, accountable and responsive. We partner with local institutions and organizations to:
- Strengthen agency capabilities. We help police agencies provide better law enforcement and fairer justice through an improved ability to investigate and prosecute crimes.
- Improve equal access. We work to ensure women and gender diverse people can lodge complains with the police and have their legal issues handled appropriately.
- Reform criminal justice systems. We provide training for judges, lawyers and legal actors on best practices, supporting legal drafting, strengthening advocacy for justice reforms, developing legal aid networks and raising awareness of legal rights, judicial ethics and codes of conduct.
- Access diverse expertise. In conflict and post-conflict settings, we provide the expertise to promote stability and mitigate risk.
- Monitor and evaluate performance. We assess security, law and justice programs’ planned and achieved results.
Our international development consultants work closely with our partners to design and implement complex programs that support the strengthening of oversight bodies, security, law and justice.
Citizen-focused services
Sustainable development requires effective public service delivery, transparency and accountability. By increasing accountability and responsiveness, governments can better meet the needs of their people. Tetra Tech works with governments, civil societies and other partners to:
- Ensure efficient service delivery. We work with all levels of government to improve transparent funds management and accountability by analysing financial management systems and recommending improvements.
- Strengthen oversight agencies. We support civil society organisations to increase the role they play in budget and financial management processes.
- Improve performance outcomes. We help governments improve management, public administration and the performance of ministries through systems, skills, organisational structures and incentives.
- Inform donor programming and policies. Our international development consultants undertake extensive analyses on governance.
- Develop local capacity. We provide the training required to ensure long-term success, including for civil service staff in budgeting procurement, IT, leadership, management and strategic planning.
- Advocate for change. We work with civil society and the media to help them engage in dialogue on governance issues.
