Background
Information – Job Specific
The Government of the Republic of the Philippines
with the support of the European Union is implementing the Justice Sector
Reform Programme: Governance in Justice (GOJUST). GOJUST is funded by the
European Union to the value of EUR 16,000,000 and with the support of the
Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (EUR 2,000,000). The
overall objective of GOJUST is: To
contribute to inclusive growth and poverty reduction through a strengthened
justice system and its specific objective is: To increase the efficiency, effectiveness and accountability of the
formal justice system. The programme is being implemented from April 2016
to September 2019.
GOJUST seeks to achieve four major result areas, as
follows:
- Result
1: Sector-wide coordination of the justice system
strengthened and long-term reform strategy developed;
- Result
2: Backlog curtailed in courts and prosecution
services and case management system streamlined and computerised (with focus on
'justice zones');
- Result
3: Justice sector agencies’ administrative and
financial management systems improved;
- Result 4:
National/Regional Human Rights Institutions and CSO’s capacity to promote
accountability and fight impunity for major human rights violations
strengthened.
The support provided under this program will have a
far reaching effect on the entire justice system, and will impact on three main
agencies of government, namely the Judiciary, led by the Supreme Court at the
apex, the Department of Justice, which includes the prosecution service, the
correctional system, the public attorneys, the National Bureau of
Investigation, and the Department of
Interior and Local Government, which includes the police, the local detention
facilities and the barangay justice system.
The first annual work plan of the programme has
been approved by the Programme Steering Committee last 24 October 2016, and
part of that work plan involves the hiring of additional contractual staff to
assist in the reform programme. These particular terms of reference refer to
the hiring of two Administrative Assistant whose main functions would be to
support Result Area 2.
