Scott Worden
Senior Rule of Law Advisor | U.S. Institute of PeaceMember of Hague Rule of Law Network
I have worked on rule of law development issues over the past ten years, focusing on transitional justice, anti-corruption, and electoral issues. I have been based in Cambodia, where I worked as an advisor to a legal aid NGO and to the Cambodian government on its anti-corruption law and Afghanistan, where I have been a UN elections advisor and served as an international Commissioner on the 2009 Electoral Complaints Commission. My work at USIP in Washington, DC is focused on Afghanistan rule of law issues, transitional justice, and more effective implementation of rule of law projects in post-conflict countries.
Personal motto: "The process matters more than the outcome."
