The formal courts in Bangladesh are slow expensive and overburdened with a backlog of around 3.8 million cases. This pushes most people to manage petty disputes through informal means such as shalish. These informal solutions are often biased especially against women and minorities they are not transparent and often ineffective as they lack enforcement powers. The Village Courts (VCs) were established by the Village Courts Ordinance 1976 to allow petty disputes to be dealt with by Union Parishads the lowest tier of local government in rural areas. The law was not fully implemented later the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) enacted the Village Court Act 2006 repealing the Village Court Ordinance 1976. The Activating Village Courts in Bangladesh Project (AVCB) began in 2009 as a pilot project aiming to activate VCs in 351 Union Parishads (UPs) between the Government of Bangladesh the European Union and UNDP Bangladesh. The positive results of the pilot led the GoB to scale-up the activation and the second phase (AVCB-II) started in 2016 targeting a further 1080 UPs. The tenure of AVCB-II was completed in June 2022 and a third and final phase has been approved by the GoB. The final phase will be implemented for five years (2022-2027) by the Local Government Divisions of the Ministry of Local Government Rural Development and Cooperatives (MoLGRD&C). The project will work across all UPs in Bangladesh excluding CHT (amounting to 4457 UPs) reflecting the GoB commitment for a national scale-up. It will have three components: first to activate Village Courts in 3041 Union Parishads in Bangladesh; second to maintain the performance of the 1416 courts activated under AVCB-I and AVCB-II; and third to ensure the Government has the capacity resources and ownership to take over the management and oversight of VC services so that the project gains are sustained.
