The people of Yendi in the Northern Region and surrounding communities will now have access to free legal services, thanks to the support of UNDP and partners including the Legal Aid Scheme, Legal Resources Centre and the Yendi Municipal Assembly for the launch of the Legal Aid office in the area.
The Legal Aid Scheme which targets the poor and vulnerable including persons with disability, women, children and the aged provides free legal advice and education to help the poor to make informed choices on ways to secure justice and access their rights. The scheme also assists the people through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve their disputes.
