Purpose 2. Increased public participation in policymaking leading to greater government responsiveness and accountability in conflict-affected regions.

4 2.1 By 2013 in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea the West Africa Centre for Capacity Development (CENCAD) and up to fifteen civil society organisations (CSOs) are better able to engage in policymaking processes and to act as leaders in conflict-affected border communities as a result of the project activities.

2.1 The CSOs already have some capacity and have developed research and training modules. But this capacity is still limited, particularly at the sub-regional level. The CSOs have different levels of capacity to engage in policy-making processes and are not at the moment acting as leaders for conflict-affected border communities. There is no coordinated approach between CSOs in the Mano River Union regarding engagement in policy-making processes.

The groundwork is being laid in relationships with three partners which are reaching out into border communities to lay the foundations for structured advocacy

It remains early in the overall programme cycle to have achieved this purpose


3 to 5 2.2 (Georgian/Abkhaz conflict region) New and/or improved legislation, government practices and mechanisms by the end of 2013 that better address the needs and concerns of target groups, reflect partners’ recommendations and enable citizens to hold governments to account.

Dialogue processes between civil society and policymakers in the target regions of Georgia (Tbilisi, Imereti, Zugdidi) and Abkhazia are in place at various levels, but not institutionalized; they depend largely on personal relations.

A Coordination Council for the local administration and NGOs in Gali has only recently been established and does not yet function effectively.

Considerable number of shortfalls and lack of transparency in Georgian legislation with regard to IDP status, settlement and privatization procedures.

Improvement at institutional level in Zugdidi: after ongoing consultation work with IDP network members, the LSG in Zugdidi instituted a position exclusively responsible for IDP issues. Formerly such a position had only existed at the local outfit of the Abkhaz gov’t in exile (yr 1); A series of focus groups and interviews has taken place in the Gal/i region in order to establish first contacts with potential activists and officials in 5 communities and an overview of priority areas to work on in year 3. The IDP advocacy group members have held regular consultations with MRA advisors, who declared their feedback was taken into account for the elaboration of the NAP; Advocacy group has cooperated with steering

In Abkhazia, two main strands were further developed, although there have been constraints and delays of several months in all areas of work due to ‘presidential elections’ that took place in December 2009. Firstly, most coordinators, experts and participants were actively involved in election monitoring and reporting in the run-up to and during elections; secondly, the highly politicised atmosphere and polarisation in Abkhaz society was not conducive to taking governance issues forward, especially in the Gal/i region. Furthermore, the UN mission was liquidated in July 2009, which initially had negative impact on the security situation in Gal/i and made project implementation in the area more complicated due to restrictions on travel and greater instability over a period of several months.


Lack of legal provisions with regard to corruption and transparency in Abkhazia.

In many cases no public dialogue prior to legal projects in Georgia and Abkhazia; decision-making procedures and respective responsibilities are often not clearly defined and transparent, and therefore difficult to monitor and access.

committee on IDPs: sessions are held 1-2 times a month; network members attend the sessions and can voice their concerns (e.g. on status issues), although they have no right to vote CHP commissioned 5 papers that look into different areas of corruption and transparency in Abkhazia, which will be presented and published in the first half of year 3. These will serve as a basis to improve provisions and mechanisms for public participation. The IDP network has prepared meetings with local party representatives to impact on party platforms in regard to IDP rights and concerns, which will take place in the run-up to local elections in Georgia at the end of May 2010. CHP prepared a public advocacy campaign with students in Sukhum/i to improve civic control mechanisms of policies and procedures regarding


municipal sanitation and renovation, which will be carried out in April and May 2010.


4 2.3 (Fiji) By 2013 civic engagement in national public policy debates on constitutional and legislative reforms will extend beyond the capital city of Suva and national NGOs and this will result in greater government responsiveness which in turn will increase long-term political stability.

2.3 Currently with Parliament suspended civil society engagement is limited due to concerns of endorsing the military’s “doctrine of effective control.”

2.3 In the Freedom House, ‘Freedom in the world’ report 2008, Fiji had the following rating: Political rights: 6 Civil Liberties: 4

Progress against this primary indicator was negatively affected by the imposition of media and assembly restrictions after the abrogation of the constitution in April 2009.

Progress was badly effected by the abrogation of the constitution in Easter 2009, resulting in a review of planned activities and a change in programme.


4 2.4 By 2013 CSOs

and target communities in northern Uganda are better able to monitor and contribute to legislation, policies and government practices, which affect their needs and grievances.

2.4 The February 2009 survey by Uganda Governance Monitoring Platform (UGMP) concluded that the democratic process and human rights situation in Uganda stagnated between 2004-2008. In the same period transparency and accountability regressed. Access to public information is limited, while the regressive NGO policy limits the operations of civil society organisations.

Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC) completed the training of Community leaders in PRDP monitoring. JPC Ganal and JPC Gulu continued with the training of young people in PRDP monitoring. Cross-border trade workshop initiated dialogue between civil society and governments (in Uganda and Southern Sudan) – on how best trade can be used to facilitate peacebuilding and socio-economic recovery.

While PRDP implementation is on going, confusion persists on the financial transfers and guidelines on the use of resources by the districts. Overall, we are witnessing partners increasing their ability to engage with the government. We are also witnessing increasing understanding of the PRDP, and they now see the need to engage with the issues of governance. Provision of information and training to partners is empowering and they now have the skills to engage with the government.

3. Partners demonstrate increased capacity to contribute to policymaking and research in the region.

4 3.1 By 2013 partners’ resources and expertise have increased and the organisation can produce sound and practical policy recommendations reflecting interests and needs of communities

3.1 Partners are not producing practical policy recommendations regarding border communities’ needs on governance issues.

Partners are compiling baseline data, beginning to work more intensively with border communities as a prelude to producing practical policy recommendations, which will commence in year three. Informal meetings with officials to outline the project have initiated a


in target border areas. policy dialogue on key issues


4 3.3 By 2013 partners

are consulted regularly by both government and other CSOs as a regional resource and contribute directly to policy analysis and formulation at different governance levels in the sub-region.

3.3 Partners are not yet identified as a regional resource or consulted regularly by governments and other CSOs. The potential to contribute to policy analysis exists but is not being fully developed. CENCAD has established contact with key ministries and institutions.

CENCAD has taken part in consultation processes with NGOs in Guinea and is starting to develop its approach to contributing to policy analysis which is expected to develop further

4. Up to fifteen civil society organisations (CSOs) have a better understanding of how to hold their local and/or national governments to account and influence policy debate on the issues that affect border communities.

4 4.1 By 2013 up to fifteen CSOs targeted through project activities understand their rights, policy development processes, and strategies for engagement with decision makers in order to address issues affecting their communities.

4.1 Although stronger more active, civil society in the region is still largely ineffective in holding governments to account. Political participation and interaction with government is still very low and official information is not made available regularly. CENCAD has already developed training materials on community participation and advocacy.

Preparation is being undertaken to move forward on this output in year three


5 4.2 In the 2012 presidential and legislative elections in Sierra Leone the needs of the conflict-affected communities are publicly debated during the campaign as a result of targeted CSOs engagement and recommendations.

4.2 While CSOs have played a visible role in elections campaigns and political protests since 1995, they still have limited capacity to represent conflict-affected communities and are mostly unaccountable to their constituents thus lacking legitimacy. CSO/government interaction is weak and campaigns tend to be highly politicized, in detriment of debate around social and economic issues. Some of the CSOs have experience in organizing radio discussions during previous legislative and presidential elections.

It is too early in the project to have achieved since the elections remain almost two years away and activities have not yet been implemented.

5 4.3 In the 2012 Presidential and House of Representatives election in Liberia the needs of the conflict-affected communities are publicly debated during the campaign as a result of targeted CSOs engagement and recommendations.

4.3 While CSOs in Liberia have proliferated since 2003, they have little experience of engaging in electoral processes and representing their communities. A full democratic culture is not yet developed. A sense of antagonism between the government and CSOs has also prevented engagement with the government, which often dismisses CSOs as troublemakers.

It is too early in the project to have achieved this since the elections remain over a year away and activities have not yet been implemented.


4 4.4 By 2013 a network of CSOs and researchers across the MRU are able to jointly engage and influence policies on the key issues affecting their communities as a result of joint forum discussions, exchange visits and research activities.

4.4 While there is tradition of sub-regional efforts around peacebuilding, CSOs rarely join efforts around issues of government accountability in the region. Sub-regional civil society networking is incipient. CENCAD has already established contact with researchers in the MRU countries.

Steps have been initiated and are promising. CENCAD, LDI and AGENDA have taken part in a joint meeting to share their respective methodologies and strategies for influencing policy on key issues.

5. An increase in the level of analysis and policy recommendations produced by targeted CSOs on the needs of conflict affected border communities made available to policymakers.

4 5.1 In Liberia and by 2011 targeted CSOs make recommendations on key issues that affect border communities as part of the government’s public consultation on decentralization.

5.1 While a group of CSOs have started to monitor government budget transparency, there is still little tradition of public consultation. The ongoing Liberia decentralization and local development programme (2007-2011) envisages a consultation process at the local level in which the needs of border communities will be identified. There is very little tradition of decentralization in the country and the concept is not known well. The Liberian focal partner in the project has already developed a list of conflict issues in the Lofa county.

It is too early in the project to have achieved this since the key activities undertaken so far are the research and analysis of the local context rather than the production of recommendations that will come in future stages.


4 5.2 In Guinea by 2012 CENCAD and targeted CSOs produce research and make recommendations on key issues that affect border communities as part on the country’s transition to democracy

5.2 Historically social interests have been under-represented and political leadership has opted to ignore civil society in policy formulation. While traditions of civil society have been hindered by the previous regimes, they are rooted in the country and have played an instrumental role in the uprising in 2007. The current transition process seems to be favourable to a greater level of participation of CSOs in policymaking debates. The CSOs identified in Guinea are well placed to play an active role on this process and the project focal partner in Guinea is already documenting cross-border harassment of traders. CENCAD is already conducting research on small arms in border communities between Guinea and Guinea-Bissau.

CENCAD responded creatively to the post-coup political fluidity by facilitating discussions among CSOs and academics as well as maintaining some links with officials. This provides a basis for further participation by CSOs and places CENCAD in a good position to undertake and promote good policy analysis

5 5.3 By 2013 project partners produce a joint report and a set of recommendations on key sub-regional issues that can improve governance and accountability in border areas.

5.3 This has never been done. It is too early in the project to have achieved this since no activities in this direction have yet been implemented.

6. Target communities in Georgian and Abkhaz societies are aware of their rights and possibilities as citizens and empowered to solve their problems by addressing government officials and state institutions

1 6.1 At least 5 ‘success stories’ at the end of year 2 (March 2010), where internally displaced persons (IDP) managed to improve their conditions through addressing state institutions.

IDPs in collective centres are generally not aware of and/or do not believe in official procedures to address state institutions with their concerns

Local authorities have included IDP communities in decision-making processes in regard to re-settlement and privatization issues, e.g. in Kutaisi, which has created ownership by the IDPs, as well as transparency and credibility for the decision-making process; over 30 concrete problems in eleven collective IDP centres that had been identified in year 1 were being tackled and solved in most cases, others are still pending.

Two major problems remained unresolved because the local authorities in charge, although very supporting and co-operative, did not have sufficient funds at their disposal.


4 6.2 A 25%+

increase year on year across the lifetime of the project in the number of persons in Gal/i that addresses local administration and other relevant institutions to solve their problems; and the local regional council in Gal/I starts holding regular meetings with residents by the end of year 3; clear mechanisms for institutionalised meetings are in place by the end of the project lifetime.

Gal/i population at large is not aware of and/or does not believe in official procedures to address state institutions with their concerns.

People appeal to local administration institutions on a daily basis, mostly requiring help regarding procedures to acquire an Abkhaz passport, as well as financial support and access to education and medical services.

Local Department for Domestic Affairs registered 27 appeals in 2008

The local regional council currently has 25 council members; since its coming to existence Feb 2007- Oct 2009 a total of 3 meetings have been carried out.

A series of focus groups and interviews has taken place in the Gal/i region in order to establish first contacts with potential activists and officials in 5 communities and an overview of priority areas to work on in year 3.

It has been decided to approach issues of public participation in Gal/i (and other regions of Abkhazia) through working with young people, following similar methodology as in Sukhum/i. Priorities and participants from Gal/i will be established through joint workshops, facilitated by CHP and an organisation working with young people in Gal/i, ‘Avantgard’. Such a process will less likely be politicized than addressing local administration representatives and local councils in the Gal/i region in the first instance. (This indicator may have to be readjusted in year 3; consultation with partners in Sukhum/i and Gal/i is ongoing; a decision will be taken during a joint workshop in July 2010.)

1 At the moment, due to recent events, great attention is brought to IDP issues in Georgian media. However, this does mostly refer to the situation of ‘new’ IDPs. One of the expected results of this project is to make sure IDP issues do not disappear from the agenda of national media as soon as housing has been established for the ‘new’ IDPs and that there will be permanent coverage and monitoring of the implementation of the IDP strategy and action plans throughout the lifetime of the project. Since coverage is currently unusually frequent, this indicator does not foresee a quantitative increase in media reports.

National strategy on IDPs is very vague; no clear legal definitions for IDP status; National Action plan on IDPs is being elaborated, while in practice some elements of it are already being implemented; steering committee on IDP issues is being established in March 2009, initially without IDP network members participating; privatization law does currently not provide for IDPs that do not live in collective centres.

No participatory budgeting in local communities

This activity area will be pursued in year 3; the IDP network in Georgia proper will also start looking into budgeting issues in year 3, which will make it feasible to undertake some joint thinking around the issue and directly compare approaches and lessons learned.


8. Increased institutional capacities and skills of civil society organisztions in the target communities to engage in advocacy, policy dialogue and monitoring

2 8.1 By 2013, at least 20 local and international networks, organisations, and state institutions consider and promote the IDP network as valuable resource for recommendations and assessments of IDP issues in Georgia.

IDP network is being consulted and promoted on occasion by CR, Transparency International (TI), Georgian Young Lawyers Association (GYLA); there is dialogue on specific issues with the MRA and some LSG officials.

More international organisations (e.g. CARE, DRC, UNDP) have consulted IDP network advocacy group to receive information about current IDP issues in Georgia; EUMM personnel in Tbs, Zugdidi and Khashuri have consulted IDP network members and turned to them to solve problems of IDPs in the region; All key officials in MRA and LSG in Zugdidi, Imereti and Tbs are aware of the work of the IDP network and hold regular consultation with network members, including at sessions of the steering committee on IDP issues (see 7.1) ; ‘Postfactum’ reported in detail about network activities in its quarterly publication on IDP issues; In order to give the network a more effective voice and be more clearly visible, the network members have drawn up a clear portfolio for their work for year 3, and decided to give the network a name and


logo: ‘Synergy’. Flyers about the IDP network Synergy will be produced and disseminated in year 3.

2 8.2 A 25%+ increase of the number of proposed and implemented projects on a yearly basis by CBOs, especially youth groups in Abkhazia (in Sukhum/i and Gal/i districts) promoting good governance and transparency.

No systemised engagement in transparency and good governance issues among Abkhaz civil society; mainly 4 CBOs have led related initiatives: CHP, AIS (Association Inva-Sodeystvie) AWA (Abkhaz Women’s Association), Democracy Institute in Gal/i. They have targeted the following issues: Law on Freedom of Expression (in co-operation with Article 19); Law on Gender Equality (adopted in 2009); establishment of public councelling services for citizens (supported through International Alert); improve rights of persons with disabilities; improve civic participation mechanisms; the role of the media in forming public opinion.

Issues of governance and transparency are more adequately represented in Abkhaz media and are being reviewed by authorities; Clearer concept among CBOs of the way everyday problems of citizens are linked to weak governance; Youth initiatives have been successfully carried out: active involvement of youth groups in the ‘Voters’ league’ and in preparing the advocacy campaign

9. Increased understanding and use of, the concepts of good governance, human rights, citizenship and Fiji’s Constitution.

2 9.1 4% increase, year on year, in the rural population’s ability to express and explain these concepts, within the 3 target provinces (Tailevu, Naitasiri and Ra).

Understanding gained from pre-workshop surveys

Understanding:

Human rights: 40%

Citizenship: 24%

G.Governance: 23%

Unfortunately CCF was denied access to the more extensive UNDP’s baseline survey (the intended primary source of data), thus limiting CCF’s ability to monitor progress.

A replacement survey will be conducted separate by CCF in 2010. Currently there is a substantial security risk in conducting such a survey.

Progress in conducting the workshops was excellent, - the target number of community workshops on Good Governance, Human Rights and Citizenship was 40. Within the reporting period 48 workshops were conducted. Until CCF conducts a new survey during 2010 the full impact of progress will be difficult to assess.

After Easter 2009 (imposition of emergency regulations) CCF had to apply for permits to hold events, leading to the postponing of numerous workshops in May and June. Delayed workshops were carried forward to July and August. Before the abrogation of the constitution in April 2009 all 4 modules were used, after Easter module 1 (Fijis Constitution) was stopped. Through the second half of 2009 CCF began to find it easier to get permits having made efforts to build relationships with officials. Periodically, provincial office staff persons would visit workshops. There was a good response from various communities regarding workshops, especially Indigenous Fijian communities,


leading to a continuous demand for CCF to expand their workshops.

9.3 Specific evidence in 60% of target communities (communities in Tailevu, Naitasiri and Ra) of increased civic activity, by 2013.

Little evidence of increased civic activity as a result CCF workshops

This indicator information is yet to be obtained; it will be gathered on follow-on visits (i.e. return visits) to individual communities which will commence in 2010.

As 9.1 above progress in conducting the workshops was better than expected given the circumstances after the abrogation of the constitution in the last reporting period (April 2009).

on year increase in the display of diversity of opinions and informed understanding of good governance, human rights, citizenship and constitutionalism, in the ‘letters to the editor’ pages of Fiji’s two major newspapers

Censorship was introduced thus damaging the validity of the assessment criteria.

Due to censorship this monitoring activity could not take place and has had to be temporarily stopped.

There has been extensive media education activity in these concepts including:

Newspaper supplements were published on the following themes: ! ‘Dialogue is necessary’ ! ‘Human Rights and

Responsibility’. TV and radio advertisements on equality and human rights

Zero % of senior security force and senior government officials (PS and Ministerial level).

Initial data on progress is limited as dialogue processes and training have just commenced – data will become available in mid-late 2010.

The Dialogue Fiji (national dialogue process), of which CCF is a founding member, was severely delayed during 2009 due to the turbulent political events. Military training (in partnership with the Pacific Centre for Peacebuilding) likewise suffered during 2009, currently events are planned from September to December 2010.

General public

Completed Plus preparation of budget submission Number of workshops planned for 2009: 4 Number Completed for 2009: 4

The lack of Indo-Fijian participants was a concern. Knowledge on terms related to the budget was very poor. More workshops need to be done to improve people’s knowledge. One recommendation was that every year, at least one budget workshop should be conducted in a remoter part of Fiji, such as an outer island or another remote area.


Media Advocacy CCF conducted continuous advocacy on issues effecting Fiji, with predominant themes where: ! Supporting efforts towards national

Reconciliation and a return to democracy. ! Condemning attacks on freedom of the media

and the Judiciary Condemning corrupt activity.

General public and CCF Press Releases: 36 Number of times CCF was quoted:191

The media has been heavily censored after April 11. For this reason, CCF Media Release from the 15 April 2009 have not been published.. A new strategy was adopted in May, where media releases were circulated to overseas media and through email distribution lists, asking people to forward on as the media may not publish it due to censorship. This strategy has worked and our releases were published on a number of blog sites and overseas news services. Two media releases managed to be quoted at least four times. It appears that the censorship is being relaxed a little bit as of end of September 2009.


International Advocacy CCF either attending special lectures / seminars or organizing special international events to gain international exposure to CCF’s message. This should provide attendees with a greater understanding of CCF and the situation in Fiji.

International organisations and governments

Students and schools in CCF’s targeted areas

Completed Out of the 42 primary schools in the Naitasiri province, only 2 primary schools participated. Total of 4 entries received. This activity has proved difficult to conduct for a few reasons, including: ! Problems getting cooperation

and information from the ministry of Education.

! The retirement of numerous head teachers caused problems in maintaining contact with schools.

Lessons from this year’s competition will be collated and used for next year.


Youth Consultation and Citizenship Workshop Activity carried by the Youth Liaison Officer. The workshop and consultation was the foreground and ways in which CCF youth programme is trying to establish its network.

13. Increased ability of civil society in Northern Uganda to hold Government and state institutions accountable.

4 13.1 By 2011, target communities are aware of and understand the content and relevance of the Peace, Recovery and Development Plan (PRDP) for Northern Uganda.

Baseline data collected by JPC GANAL concluded that less than 20% of the population in northern Uganda were aware of PRDP.

• In January 2009, the Government of Uganda announced deferral of the implementation of the PRDP to 1st July 2009. In July 2009, Government resumed implementation of PRDP. The problem, however, is that local governments and local population have few decision-making powers since the bulk of their allocations from central government come in the form of tightly controlled conditional grants. Hence PRDP has failed to respond to the first changing dynamics in northern Uganda. Political leaders at district and lower levels, and local technocrats, have only very limited knowledge of the PRDP. In December 2009 a survey by JPC indicated that less than 20% of the people in northern Uganda were aware of the

Despite re-introduction confusion on PRDP and expected outcomes remain. This has remained a challenge to programmes working on governance and recovery programming in northern Uganda. .


PRDP. Through the project, we are increasing sensitisation /public awareness on PRDP:

• Uganda Joint Christian Council (UJCC) completed planned training of communities in Kitgum district.

• JPC started training

/sensitisation of young people in northern Uganda (Gulu, Kitgum, Pader and Amuru) on PRDP

4 13.2 By 2013, a cohort of young women and men from the five districts of Northern Uganda are monitoring the implementation of recovery programmes and have made practical recommendations to Government at the district and national levels on measures to meet the needs of

Young people from Northern Uganda are excluded from policymaking processes. They were neither consulted during the design of the PRDP nor are they participating in its monitoring. Issues affecting young people rarely get into the policymaking processes.

JPC carried out two separate trainings for the youth on PRDP in the districts of Pader and Amuru-Gulu respectively. A total of 120 youth were identified and were sensitised/ trained on the PRDP. The cohort trained will form the core of PRDP monitors.

In the coming months, focus will be placed on advocacy at the national and local level. One of the key dilemmas faced is confusion within the government circles on the funding of PRDP. While the central government maintains that funds for PRDP were released by the treasury, district and local authorities contend that they have never received funding meant for PRDP activities from central Government.

CSOs make recommendations on key policy issues that affect communities in Northern Uganda.

While CSOs are ‘consulted’ by the government on some policy issues, they have not effectively articulated their policy stance on issues affecting communities in Northern Uganda.

In June 2009, a dialogue session was organised in Kampala attended by government representatives, police, civil society organisations (NGOs, Chamber of commerce and business people), customs officials on “cross-border trade: fuelling conflict or building peace? An exploration of cross-border trade between Sudan and Uganda and the implication for peacebuilding and socio-economic recovery”. Critical to this workshop was establishment of linkage between the Uganda and Southern Sudan institutions. The report was launched in northern Uganda (October) attended by 45 participants and Juba, Southern Sudan (November)- attended by 27 participants. After the meeting in Kitgum, a team of five people led by the Chairman of the Uganda National Chamber of Commerce & Industry (UNCCI) Northern Region Office, were delegated to take the

Because of the planned democratic elections in Southern Sudan and the ‘election fever’ that was apparent by December 2009, the programme decided to scale down on policy advocacy in southern Sudan, since the focus of all major stakeholders was on elections.


conclusions from the dialogue meeting to their Sudan counterparts. The team visited Southern Sudan (Ikotos, Torit, and Magwi including meeting with the State Governor, of Eastern Equatoria state Brigadier General Aloisio Emor Ojetuk). On 24th November, the team that travelled to Southern Sudan met with members of parliament from northern Uganda. Key messages presented to policy makers in both Uganda and Southern Sudan include: need to implement existing policy frameworks; security of individual and traders travelling on the Uganda/Sudan border; cross-border trade not benefiting communities living adjacent to the border; need for quick mechanisms that would resolve disputes before they escalate; need to establish regular channels of dialogue between Ugandan and Southern Sudan institutions Regional civil society


peacebuilding committee/task force In May, the committee met in Kampala to refine the terms of reference for the groups and identified agenda issues to work on in the coming months, such as trying to re-open channels of communication with policy makers with a view of identifying individual impediments to the peace process. On 13 May, the committee met with the donor working group on conflict. Between 29th September- 2nd October, the committee again met in Southern Sudan, including -meeting Dr.Reik Machar, vice President of the GOSS and the Chief Mediator in the Juba talks. At the end of the meeting, the committee issued a communiqué that called for the renewal of the peace talks with the LRA, and called on the Governments and International community to urgently intervene to avert the looming humanitarian catastrophe in the region.


14. More responsive policy making processes that address key conflict issues and/or needs of conflict-affected communities in Northern Uganda, in particular women, youth and other marginalized social groups.

3 14.1 By 2013 a 30% increase in the number of CSOs in at least three districts of Northern Uganda who are engaging policy makers at the district and national level on issues affecting their communities.

While a CSO coalition has started to monitor governance trends at the national level, the level of engagement and dialogue between national level actors and grassroots groups is almost non-existent.

Mobilization for this activity is being undertaken as part of implementation of (13 above). Partners have had extensive dialogue with district authorities.

With the advent of relative peace in the region, the number of CSOs engaging in Policy Advocacy as a key focus of their activities has significantly reduced. Gulu NGO Forum has particularly invited more than 30 CSOs to participate, but many reportedly feared active engagement. The strategy then was to make the entry point for policy advocacy through the planning process.


3 14.2 By 2011 project partners produce a joint policy report and set of recommendations on key governance issues in Northern Uganda.

Although growing stronger and more active, civil society in the region is still largely ineffective in holding governments to account. Political participation and interaction with government is still very low and official information is not made available regularly. The CSOs do not regularly work together to produce joint reports.

In February 2010 partners produced a first report the reviewed the PRDP and identified policy and practical changes facing implementation: The problem, however, local governments and local population have few decision-making powers since the bulk of their allocations from central government come in the form of tightly controlled conditional grants; PRDP has failed to respond to the first changing dynamics in northern Uganda; Political leaders at district and lower levels, and local technocrats, have only very limited knowledge of the PRDP- that less than 20% of the people in northern Uganda were aware of the PRDP. Advocacy meetings were held with Office of Prime Minister and the Chief Administrative Officer of Gulu and Amuru in northern Uganda. In November 2010, partners will again meet to share their experiences – what worked and what did not work.

No changes are expected


4 14.3 By 2013 parliamentary committees and Office of Prime Minister are receiving at least two submissions on policy and programme recommendations from civil society in target areas

Tracking the quality and quantity of submissions to the Office of the Ugandan Prime Minister and parliamentary committees.

In November 2009, CR and partners met with members of the Parliament from the Greater Northern Uganda to discuss issues of Governance and PRDP, and the cross-border linkage. In March 2010 a public event was held in Kampala under the them’ Bridging the Governance Gap: Public participation and sustainable transition from conflict to peace’. This event brought together civil society organisations working on governance issues in northern Uganda, civil society, representatives of donor agencies, civil servants and representatives of the Government.

The key challenge is that in Southern Sudan, parliamentarian were not available for any substantive discussions since the year started. Following the elections held in April, CR and partners will hold a series of sensitization meetings with the in coming parliamentarians.


3 14.4 By 2013 civil society groups cooperating across the Ugandan-Sudanese border are presenting joint ideas, analysis and views to policymakers on ways to deal with the legacies of conflict on the Uganda-Sudan border

While over the last three years civil society organisations have been instrumental in promoting cross-border understanding and reconciliation, there have been limited dialogue and policy recommendations regarding needs of the communities living on the Uganda-Sudan border.

There is currently no joint analysis taking place.

See section 13 above

The planned workshops with civil society and policy makers in Uganda and Southern Sudan planned for June and July 2009, will come up with an action plan that will take forward the issues identified in the report.

15. Increased institutional capacities and skills of civil society organisations to engage effectively with governments and policymaking processes.

4 15.1 By 2012 partners targeted through project activities have a better understanding of the policy development processes and skills in policy advocacy

Civil society in the region is largely ineffective in holding governments to account. They lack skills and access to information. Political participation and interaction with government is still very low and official information is not made available regularly.

We have continued to coordinate our advocacy work with NUAPP. In Kampala and Juba, we have continued our engagement with DFID, Netherlands, Swedish, Norwegian Embassies, the donor working group and MPs.

No expected changes


3 15.2 A cohort of

community based groups with relevant skills in community dispute resolution mechanisms strengthened by 2013

Formal government institutions are either non-existent or not trusted by communities in Northern Uganda. Traditional institutions have also been weakened by years of conflict. Community based groups are currently working target communities to resolve disputes.

JPC Gulu trained 190 (68 females and 122 male) community based volunteers/ paralegals in mediation to enable them to mediate community disputes giving them exposure to current thinking on land policies and mediation and restorative justice, and helping them to establish systems for reporting cases. Community based volunteers/ paralegals are instrumental in resolving disputes at the lowest levels of society, both at the family level and the community level. Between April 2009 and March 2010, paralegals received 152 cases, successfully mediated 64 and referred 88 to other institutions.

In the coming months, we will be working with JPC to train paralegals on alternative dispute resolution mechanisms


4 15.3 By 2013

partners and community groups in at least three districts understand fully concepts of human rights and good governance and are promoting these within their own communities

Although stronger and more active, civil society in the region is still largely ineffective in holding governments to account. Political participation and interaction with government is still very low and access to public information is still limited. Government departments are not taking necessary steps to provide information as provided for by Access to Information Act 2005.

JPC Gulu has developed an integrated approach to training of paralegals that includes dispute resolution, human rights and good governance.

A training session for all partners on good governance and human rights is planned for November 2010.

JPC Gulu trained 190 paralegals (122 male and 62 females) in northern Uganda on land rights, case management, referrals and case follow up. As of end of March 152 cases had been reported to paralegals (64 mediated, 88 referred) – most of the cases are related to land and property disputes.

The growing interest in reporting cases to paralegals shows that the project is highly appreciated by local communities in northern Uganda.

Process of institutional change is poorly understood, especially in conflict and post-conflict contexts, and there is insufficient evidence-based knowledge of what works and what does not in governance and why, as recognised by GTF.

There is little evidence on the particular CAR governance challenges that may be particular and generic in conflict contexts – though HMG and the OECD are just beginning new policy work on the statebuilding-peacebuilding interface.

Few opportunities for analysis and comparative learning between projects and across different conflict contexts and little published analysis.

The March 2010 Entebbe joint analysis workshop provided great opportunity for analysis and comparative learning between projects. The progress against indicators is good and have been described in section 13 of the narrative

The join meeting in Entebbe has provided all partners with a good basis of exchange and we will be building on that over the rest of the project period.
