Advocacy Project: Mobile ALAC

Advocacy Project: Mobile ALAC

The concept of the Mobile ALAC originated in Azerbaijan. The whole point of this activity is to provide instant relief to citizens that may not have the resources or knowledge to take advantage of a legal advice centre such as ALAC.

The aim of this project is to provide a service that will be so unique to the citizen that it cannot do anything but yield favourable results for the aggrieved. Thus, at the outset, this activity will intend to disseminate information and/or legal advice to different groups of people in different localities.

Seeing as how there is a large scope for this idea to blossom, we want to test the waters first in a few neighbourhoods in Karachi. Depending on the success and ease of these sessions in the city, we want to eventually extend them to interior Sindh and other surrounding rural areas. In the future we hope to extend them to other provinces with the help of partnerships with other civil society organizations and/or the TNN

To reiterate, the objectives of the mobile ALAC are:

·         To provide legal advice to the people in their comfort zones (e.g. cafes, outdoor places, their homes).

·         To gather new and more clients/cases.

·          

 This project will be carried out by an Assistant Project Coordinator and a male lawyer; both are well-versed in how to handle prospective clients and the limits that the ALAC works in.
