IDLO - Access to Justice Programme - 2018-2023 - Access to Justice Programme - IDLO

International Development Law Organisation (IDLO) is a multilateral organisation with its head office in Rome dedicated to the promotion of rule of law. Sweden became a state member of IDLO in 2017. IDLO submitted a programme proposal to Sida - "Community Justice Programme in Uganda 2018-2023" - which has the main objective to enhance access to justice for women and men living in poverty, especially in the rural areas of Uganda. In concrete terms, the expected outcomes are: (1) Legal aid and empowerment of grassroots communities, (2) Strengthening capacities of and linkages between formal and informal justice systems, (3) Enhancing access to justice for women and girls, and (4) Improving the monitoring and accountability system within the Justice, Law and Order Sector (JLOS). The proposed Programme will focus on legally-empowering grassroots communities and enhancing the capacity of duty-bearers within the justice, law and order sector (JLOS) at the community level to provide the most vulnerable and marginalised citizens with quality legal knowledge, legal aid and other justice services to uphold their basic rights, challenge their grievances in an equitable manner, and obtain effective justice remedy and reparation or compensation from both formal and informal justice mechanisms. The Programme is grounded in the appreciation that accessibility of quality, affordable and fair justice services, or provision of legal assistance in Uganda remains challenging due to a number of factors, with disputes not resolved by formal justice institutions in a timely and equitable manner. The Programme has been a result of a two-year multi-stakeholder consultative process, ensuring endorsement and buy-in from key actors, including the Government, local communities, civil society, academia and relevant development partners. IDLO's mission is to enable governments, empower people, and to strengthen institutions to realise justice, peace and sustainable devlopment. The IDLO programme in Uganda will therefore build strong collaborations with governments (JLOS), intergovernmental organisations, and civil society groups by providing technical assistance, support capacity development, generate knowledge and advocate for policy change in Uganda. Specifically capacity build of IDLO implementing partners will an integral part of the programme. The capacity of the duty bearers´ to fulfill their responsibilities and rightsholders´abilities to demand accountability and access to justice are both equally important parts of the programme. The financing request amounts to SEK 152,5 MSEK for 2018 to 2023 and the Programme duration is estimated to be for 5 years, starting in December 2018. The financing provided by Sweden shall be deposited by IDLO in a SEK non-interest-bearing bank account. This is because IDLO is a public interest non profit organisation. Financial support for implementation of programmatic activities will be through both the Justice Law and Order Sector (JLOS) with IDLO supporting selected agreed activities within JLOS institutions and support to Non-State Institutions through a sub grant making process. IDLO will support up to 20 sub-grantees financially, and provide capacity building for management of funds and program implementation. The number of sub-grantees will be phased over the duration of programme implementation. An initial number of no more than 5 sub-grantees, will be directly selected for the first year of implementation. Subsequent numbers will be scaled up, through a Call for Proposals.The selection and assessment of Implementing Partners will be carried out by IDLO in accordance with its applicable regulations, rules, policies and procedures. The IDLO Office in Uganda (also know as the Programme Management Team) will consist of staff based in Kampala, supported by IDLO’s Africa Regional operations based in Nairobi, the IDLO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, and the IDLO’s Branch Office in The Hague, The Netherlan
