UNDP, National Access to Justice Officer (3 Posts), Deadline January 20, 2010.

Vacancy Announcement  

Project Title: Justice System Programme

Position Title: National Access to Justice Officer (3 posts)

Duty Station: Dili, Timor Leste

Type of Contract: Service Contract

Level: SB-3

Duration: 6 months (with possible extension)

Expected Start date: January 2010

Organizational Unit: UNDP, Governance

Entitlement/Benefits: Please obtain from Human Resources Unit

Background:

The Justice System Programme

“Strengthening the Justice System in Timor-Leste” (Project no. 00014955)

The “Strengthening the Justice System in Timor-Leste” Programme was launched in 2003. This project was revised and a new project document was signed in December 2005, focused on institutional capacity development of the justice sector, including the Courts, Prosecution Service, Public Defenders Office, and the Ministry of Justice. Overall project management responsibility was entrusted to a Council of Coordination, consisting of the President of the Superior Council of the Judiciary, Prosecutor-General and the Minister of Justice.  The crisis of April-May 2006 and its aftermath drastically altered the domestic environment, unduly burdening this project which, as the most comprehensive vehicle of support to the justice sector, was called upon to respond to emergency needs for crisis response and recovery. In July-August 2007, an independent, external evaluation of the project made recommendations for far-reaching changes in the structure, scope and size of the project.  In light of those recommendations, this project was revised in 2008, with significant changes in scope, structure, and size, including a new focus on the ‘demand’ side of justice.  The revised project commenced in 2009 and provides for a strengthened Programme Management Unit, with five revamped programme units: Capacity Development, Justice Decentralization, Prosecution, Corrections and Access to Justice.
