This report focuses on a series of pilot projects sponsored by the United States Institute of Peace between 2002 - 2008 that engaged local Afghan organizations at the district and provincial levels to observe and record how informal justice systems resolve (or fail to resolve) people’s disputes, and how informal and formal justice actors relate to each other in practice.
