- 1.2. Increase justice institution capacity to monitor progress and performance of justice sector delivery (through ROLIS).
| RESULTS: OUTPUT 1: High level coordination mechanisms for developing policy and legislation in accordance with international and national standards are established and functional in State justice institutions Output 1 focuses on increasing the capacity of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GORIA) to produce informed and compliant high-level policy documents and legislation by strengthening key departments of the MOJ, including their coordination with line ministries and institutions. This output is aligned with NPP (National Priority Programme) 5: Law and Justice for All, particularly Component 1 on Improving the Legislative Process, and NPP 6: Human Rights and Civic Responsibilities. It is expected that at the end of the project period, the results of this output will provide the MOJ with mechanisms to coordinate the development of policy and legislative documents with the Permanent Legislative Committee, which is chaired by the second vice-president’s office with ministries, and improve coordination between the Policy and Planning Department (PPD) of the MOJ, Taqnin (including Translation Board) and the Human Rights Support Unit (HRSU). 1.2. Increase justice institution capacity to monitor progress and performance of justice sector delivery (through ROLIS). Indicator 1.2: Existence of baseline on rule of law. The annual target for this activity result is “ROLIS conducted and baseline established Significant progress was made this quarter towards that goal, and the project is on schedule to deliver this target in Q of this year. During this quarter, the consulting company, ATR, delivered the final provincial reports incorporating data from FGDs and expert interviews. Consequently, the findings from the reports as well as the structure for the final ROLIS report were presented to the National Rule of Law Working Group. Both were accepted by the working group. Approval at this critical stage again underlines the strong national ownership of the study, which has been a strong feature throughout the ROLIS process. As a result, national counterparts now have a stake in measuring and improving their institutions performance. Following the workshop, an international expert financed by JHRA is in the process of drafting the final report, and the project is planning to organize a national conference to present the study, which is expected to be completed in Q of this year. |
