The Legal Aid Secretariat (LAS) is body established to coordinate the Legal Aid Providers in Tanzania. LAS operate under the leadership of the Legal Aid Providers. Currently LAS is funded by the pool of donors through the Legal Sector Reform Program (LSRP) basket fund. While LAS is a result of long negotiations among the LAP’s and the government on the establishment of the governing body that will oversee and coordinate the provision of legal aid services in Tanzania, LAS functions under the Steering Committee which works as a governing board to the LAS Secretariat. The Steering Committee is comprised of the representatives from the LAP’s organizations and is responsible to foresee the work of the LAS.
