Aboubakar and Alima have collaborated on their project which proposes to create a capacity building mechanism to facilitate incarcerated juveniles access to the public prosecutors office through creating an office that has psycho-social assistance, legal aid and a listening room. The project will promote the social integration of juvenile minors re-entering society, provide a legal space for defenceless minors and to reduce the speed that it takes for incarcerated minors to be seen in court.
