Work with the Afghan Attorney Generals Office (AGO) 
--------------------------------------------- ------- 
 
¶2. (U) JSSP has completed a comprehensive assessment of the 
AGO organization and operational capacity, including legal 
framework, organizational, resource and personnel constraints 
and limitations, mapping out and constructing a detailed 
organization chart of the AGO to understand the current 
structure and enable further work on structure.  JSSP also

for all prosecutors in Afghanistan, containing data on their 
heir 
educational backgrounds, skills, and training received. 
 
Provincial Justice Reform Projects 
---------------------------------- 
 
¶4. (U) JSSP spear-headed the Wardak Justice Reform Project, a 
multi-agency development effort bringing together USG and 
Afghan officials, from Kabul and Wardak, to improve and reform 
the criminal justice sector in the Wardak Province.  The 
Project will bring the full spectrum of USG community 
resources (infrastructure projects, public education, 
training, etc.), along with international assistance, across 
all components of the Wardak justice system, resulting in an 
efficient system that functions and will serve as a model for 
other provinces.  Subcommittees, under the guidance of JSSP 
experts and Afghan leaders, are developing and will implement 
a comprehensive strategy for increasing successful 
prosecutions and strengthening the organizational structure of 
the provincial prison.  USAID will fund the building of a 
courthouse and CFC-A will fund the building of a new 
Prosecutors Office.  In three months, the group will have a 
full understanding of the inmate population, along with a plan 
on how to address over-detention and other problems. 
 
¶5. (U) Modeled after the Wardak project, the Ghazni Project 
was only recently initiated (December 2005).  Future 
activities of this kind will launch in February/March.
