Background:
Since June 2010 UNDP has engaged in comprehensive efforts to build the sustainable capacity of the Ministry of Justice with support aimed at building administrative and technical capacity in areas such as financial planning, IT, organisational management and human resources as well as programmes to build the substantial capacity of the Ministry in areas such as strategic planning, legislative policy and drafting, public legal awareness and international legal cooperation. As part of this support the area of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the work of the Ministry and the justice sector is considered vital by both UNDP and the MOJ. In June 2010 the MOJ established the Technical Support Unit (TSU) within the Ministry, with support from UNDP. The TSU is responsible for assisting the Ministry on strategic planning, project management, capacity building and donor relations. In discussions with the MOJ it has been agreed that the TSU is best positioned within the Ministry to develop strategy and begin implementation of action plans for the Ministry on M&E for the work of the Ministry and the justice sector. Any work conducted by the Ministry in this regard will be coordinated fully with the Ministry of Planning and Development (MOPAD) who are the leading Ministry on preparing a M&E strategy for the implementation of the Palestinian National Plan (PNP) for 2014-16. In 2011 and part of 2012, UNDP seconded a short-term expert to the Ministry to develop a M&E strategy for the Ministry and to build capacity the capacity of MOJ staff to implement and maintain a robust M&E system. The expert concluded her assignment with key deliverables achieved being: •Ministry M&E Strategic Plan and Work plans for all MOJ Directorates and Units developed •Implementation of strategy ad action plans commenced. •Development and delivery of M&E training for all Ministry of Justice staff •Integration of M&E module into curricula of three continuous courses developed in partnership with Birzeit University Institute of Law and Centre for Continuous Education for Ministry legal, administrative and financial staff. •Development of SMART indicators for M&E of the performance of the MOJ Building on these efforts, UNDP seeks to contract a M&E Justice Institutions Coordinator to continue and expand these efforts to build capacity to achieve an operational M&E system within the MOJ. The Coordinator will also continue work in close coordination with other justice institutions and relevant Ministries to harmonise cross-institutional and departmental work on M&E systems focusing especially upon the Attorney-General’s Office and the High Judicial Council. The Coordinator will also work with the PCBS who will be working with these three core justice institutions to support their capacity to produce justice sector data.
