The Asia Foundation- Independent consultant – CD 29 de Maio de 2015


The Asia Foundation Timor-Leste
Improving Lives, Expanding Opportunities
JOB ADVERTISEMENT
EXTERNAL & INTERNAL

Independent consultant to conduct an external evaluation of 
the Judicial System Monitoring Program (JSMP)
BACKGROUND
The Asia Foundation (the Foundation) is implementing an ending violence against women program in Timor-Leste under a Grant Agreement with the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The program’s goal is to reduce the proportion of women who have experienced violence, and to better meet the needs of women and children affected by violence. The objective is to improve outcomes for women in prevention, support services, and access to justice by improving capacity in key ministries, reducing levels of violence, improving services, and strengthening judicial processes serving the needs of women survivors of violence.
Under the access to justice pillar, the program is providing core funding support and accompaniment to the Judicial System Monitoring Program (JSMP) to monitor the formal justice system in Timor-Leste. This activity is expected to contribute to strengthening judicial processes in Timor-Leste, serving the needs of women and girl survivors of violence. JSMP conducts regular monitoring of court hearings in all four district courts, produces case summaries, press releases and analytical reports on issues affecting the formal justice system, and conducts advocacy to improve the formal justice system. Further background information regarding JSMP, please see in the Annex A.
ACTIVITY
These terms of reference address the requirements for an external evaluation of JSMP’s program activities from January 2013 until present. Based on the findings and recommendations, the consultant will also be required to facilitate JSMP’s strategic planning for the next five years
(2016 – 2020). The evaluation will not review JSMP’s financial management systems and governance practices as these are being reviewed by an independent financial audit.
The Asia Foundation is looking for a consultant to:
  1. Assess the quality of JSMP’s activities in the following areas: court monitoring & case summaries; legal research, analysis & publications; community training; advocacy and outreach; and assess the impact of JSMP’s activities against stated objectives/desired outcomes.
  2. Review the efficiency of JSMP’s current organisational structure and management of its program activities.
  3. Produce a detailed evaluation report with key findings and recommendations for JSMP’s future programming, over the next five year period.
  4. Facilitate one workshop with all JSMP staff to introduce the evaluation findings and recommendations.
  5. Facilitate strategic planning sessions with JSMP staff and assist JSMP management to develop a five year strategic plan (2016 – 2020).
    1. External assessment of quality and impact
    The evaluation will review the quality and impact of JSMP’s activities divided by the following program areas:
    • Court monitoring & case summaries
    This activity involves monitoring court hearings in the four district courts (Dili, Baucau, Suai and Oecusse) and producing short written case summaries describing the cases and decisions. Monitoring information is recorded on a monitoring form and then entered into an online database (WuFoo). Case summaries are produced in both Tetum and English, and distributed by email through JSMP’s mailing list. Significant decisions may also be publicised through press releases which are also distributed by email.
    • Legal research, analysis & publications
    This activity involves deeper analysis of thematic issues in the formal justice system as identified through court monitoring, such as the implementation of the Law Against Domestic Violence, sentencing in sexual assault cases, prosecution of cases of incest, and review of draft laws. Based on research and analysis of these issues, JSMP produces thematic reports (such as Incest in Timor-Leste: An unrecognised crime, 2012 and Law Against Domestic Violence: Obstacles to implementation three years on, 2013), submissions on draft laws (such as Improving the Penal Code to better protect women and children, 2015), and shorter Justice Updates.
    • Community training
    Community training is delivered by all units within JSMP and vary from local workshops with community leaders and members, to seminars for school students, to more formal events such as national seminars.
    • Advocacy and outreach
    This core component of JSMP’s program includes various activities, including distribution of press releases on significant cases, contributing to information on the justice sector through local newspapers, producing radio programs, and lobbying policy-makers on proposed reforms to the justice system. Publications such as submission on draft laws and analytical reports often form the basis of advocacy efforts.
    It is expected that the evaluation will not be able to assess the quality of all activities delivered by JSMP from January 2013 to present, therefore a sample from each program area should be selected to inform a general assessment. The assessment should involve interviews with external stakeholders, such as formal justice sector actors, international donors, NGOs, government agencies and policy-makers/legislators.
    In assessing the impact of JSMP’s activities, the evaluation will first define the objectives/desired outcomes of these activities, referring to both program documents (such as funding agreements with donors) and JSMP’s articulation of the broader objectives and desired outcomes (such as through interviews with JSMP and referencing JSMP’s strategic plan). Some key questions to be answered are:
    1. Were JSMP’s activities delivered to a high-quality? If not, what were the factors effecting the delivery of these activities?
    2. What has been the impact of the activities?
    3. To what extent did the activities achieve the stated objectives/desired outcomes?
    4. Were there any unexpected outcomes?
    5. Review the efficiency of JSMP’s organisational structure and management
    This will involve reviewing the current division of JSMP into the following units: Legal Research Unit; Women and Children’s Justice Unit; Parliamentary Watch Unit; Outreach Unit; and Management, Finance and Support Unit.
