The justice system carries the responsibility of meeting the requirements of all individuals in the country, aiming to establish a just and effective legal structure that provides timely justice. Facilitating accessible, data-driven, and innovative approaches fosters the development of human capital and capacity. Ultimately, the efforts aim to promote equity within the system, ensuring fairness for all.

Active participation in a healthy community contributes to the development of a more prosperous society. By engaging in collective efforts, the delivery of public services is enhanced, fostering a sense of trust in institutions. Initiatives focused on Active Citizenship support organisations dedicated to stimulating citizen engagement. Consequently, communities are empowered to collaboratively shape governance and tackle intricate challenges through innovative approaches.

In the realm of conservation and biodiversity, support is extended to organisations involved in establishing essential knowledge foundations in ecology, environment, water, sanitation, and animal welfare. The aim is to equip communities and institutions with the necessary skills and resources to develop adaptive and resilient models. This preparation enables communities to effectively confront pressing infrastructural and environmental challenges that lie ahead.

Within this field, efforts are directed towards supporting organisations and initiatives that concentrate on young men and boys, facilitating a shift in their attitudes and behaviours regarding unequal gender relations. The goal is to endorse work that recognizes men's transformation without regarding them solely as tools for women's empowerment, while also avoiding the marginalization of women and girls in the pursuit of gender equity.

Efforts in this domain aid organisations that promote research to deepen knowledge of severe mental health conditions. Furthermore, small grants are allocated to organisations delivering direct therapy and relief, with the aim of expanding access to mental health care for a larger population. This work endeavours to advance understanding of mental health and provide tangible support to those in need.
