The SJIP approach follows a clear, iterative cycle that combines data, dialogue, and innovation. It begins with a Justice Needs Assessment, gathering evidence on the most pressing legal problems Syrians face in their daily lives. These findings are then validated and prioritised during Stakeholder Dialogues, where diverse justice actors set shared Justice Innovation Goals.

From here, SJIP launches Justice Innovation Labs, structured design workshops where Syrian innovators and justice practitioners work together to develop new practical solutions from the ground up. The labs use user-centred design to ensure new services directly address people’s needs. At the same time, SJIP strengthens and improves existing solutions, helping them adapt, grow, and scale to reach more people with greater impact.

Promising initiatives receive targeted support through mentorship, partnerships, and funding. This enables innovators to test, refine, and expand their services. Throughout the cycle, progress is closely monitored, ensuring that innovations remain evidence-based, scalable, and responsive to the realities Syrians face.

This structured process makes justice reform tangible and practical. It ensures that solutions are not imposed from the outside, but built locally, step by step, by Syrians themselves.
