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 December 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 1.
