The Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) is a sector-wide approach adopted by the Government of Uganda in 1999 to improve the administration of justice, maintenance of law and order and strengthen the rule of law in Uganda.

JLOS programmes are supported through the sector wide approach to planning, budgeting, programme implementation, monitoring & evaluation with a shift of focus from institutional interests to sector wide strategic interests through a rationalized application of resources from Government of Uganda and development partners. JLOS thus brings together all institutions charged with the administration of justice and maintenance of law and order.

JLOS is a reform programme run under a common investment plan, whose strategic objectives include strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks, enhancing access to JLOS services and fostering a human rights culture and accountability, all in the context of the National Development Plan.
