Justice for All-Prison Fellowship Ethiopia (JFA-PFE), initially Prison Fellowship Ethiopia, is a non-profit and non-governmental organization founded in 1992 G.C. out of the abhorrent prison conditions and human rights abuse that were personally experienced by the founders in 1988 when they were incarcerated. From its establishment, JFA-PFE started its work in prison to improve the treatment and livelihood of prisoners. Later on, the organization expanded its operation to embrace the entire justice sector of the country, encompassing all institutions of the justice sector: court, police, prosecutor, and prison administration.
Thus, the JFA-PFE evolved toward promoting human rights, good governance, peace and dialogue, and the rule of law in Ethiopia. Since then, JFA-PFE has become the leading national NGO on the matters of Human Rights, Justice Reform, Conflict Resolution, Peace Building, and the Rule of Law. Some of its recent interventions include the development of the Court Annexed Mediation Manual, Restorative Justice Manual, Case-Flow Management Manual for Courts, Prosecutors Handbook, Police Investigation Manual, Community Policing Manual, Legal Dictionary, Public Complaint Handling Manuals, and so much more. It has also contributed to the development of national policies, including the Criminal Procedure Code, Media Law, Commercial Code, Pardon Law, and many more.
