A. 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.
