Short Term Consultant
Justice for the Poor Timor-Leste
World Bank
Location: Dili, Timor-Leste, with considerable field work (50% or more of the contract)
Duration: 1 May 2010 – 30 December 2010
Recruitment: Local
I. Background
Justice for the Poor Timor Leste (J4P-TL) was launched in July 2008 under the theme “Expanding Citizenship in an ExpandingState”. The two main fields of work under this program are: (i) state-building at the local level; and (ii) land and natural resource management.
Under its local level state-building sub-focus, J4P examines the relationships between citizens, traditional institutions and the formal state, including an analysis of how each understands, defines, accesses, claims and enforces rights and entitlements to state-provided benefits. Research is grounded in the ample literature on state-building and local level governance and provides practical analysis of how competing concepts of statehood and identity (national, sub-national, group, etc) impact conflict, stability, and development.
Analytical activities seek to clarify the means of citizen-state engagement – whether directly or through intermediary authorities – as well as the relationship between centralized and decentralized state authorities, and state and non-state actors. Research will also examine how the government’s current methods of expanding state presence impact the state’s legitimacy and helps (or not) to meet citizen’s expectations.
Research findings then seek to mainstream equity and conflict-sensitivity in the delivery of government services and programs and donor projects (World Bank and others). This is achieved by providing applied policy advice, inputs into project designs, project evaluations and the implementation of pilot activities, all informed by detailed social research. The aim is to equip communities to express demand for services and to build the capacity of the state and non-state institutions to respond to the demand.
II. Upcoming Activities
Beginning May of 2010, J4P will engage in a research activity with the Bank’s Social Protection (SP) unit to complement a nationally-representative survey examining social pensions for the elderly, the disabled and the Bolsa da Mae program (for female-headed households) executed by the Ministry of Social Solidarity. The survey will be complemented by discrete qualitative field exercises to provide information on benefit access and dispute resolution, communication and program execution. It is anticipated that the research findings will assist the team to design social accountability mechanisms for SP operations and decentralization reforms more generally.
A variety of additional activities, both analytical and operational, are anticipated in the second half of 2010. These include dissemination of findings from research on community decision-making around development benefits conducted in partnership with the World Bank’s Social Development Unit (SDV) and Luta Hamutuk in 2009, continued input into the decentralization process, and possible work on dispute resolution and accountability mechanisms within development programs.
