Terms of reference: Consultant for Capacity Building Support and development of legal resources – August to December 2011
Background
The Asia Foundation (TAF) Access to Justice (ATJ) program, which is funded by USAID, started in 2002. The largest component of the program is the provision of free legal aid for legal assistance in particular to those who are vulnerable within the community. Currently the Foundation supports the following four legal aid service providers:
- Fundasaun Edukasaun Comunidade Matebian (ECM) – is based in Bacau and covers the Baucau District Court jurisdiction of Baucau, Lautem, Viqueque and Manatuto Districts.
- Fundasaun Fatu Sinai Oecusse (FFSO) – is based in Pante Makassar, Oecusse and covers the Oecusse District Court jurisdiction – which includes Oecusse Disrict only.
- LBH-Liberta – is based in Dili and covers the Dili District Court jurisdiction of Dili, Ermera, Aileu and Liquisa.
- Victim Support Service (VSS) of the Justice System Monitoring Programme (JSMP) – is based in Dili and provides legal assistance to women and children victims of gender-based violence. VSS is based in Dili but has one lawyer based in Suai and one in Oecusse.
The Foundation is currently requesting proposals for a fifth legal aid provider to serve the four districts covered by the Suai Court. In addition, the Foundation supports the Legal Research Unit (LRU) of JSMP which conducts court monitoring and legislative analysis.

The consultant will ensure that training support by the Foundation is institutionalized within each legal aid organization.

For each of these placements in the first year focus will be on the first mentioned district, with the second district pending further assessment. Relocation for the second year might be necessary and would be compulsory in the case of Oecussi.
Each placement focuses capacity building efforts on two districts, a total of six districts.

The district extension component, in the shape of the above three advisory positions, receives support from Irish Aid.
The Participatory Planning and Monitoring Adviser will work alongside the Timor-Leste NGO Forum (FONGTIL) District Liaison Officers supported by the District Networks, building capacity of district-based member organisations in addressing citizen participation in local and national decision-making processes in Timor-Leste. The focus of the placement will be on developing the capacity of FONGTIL’s member organisations in issue identification and advocacy planning in relation to decentralisation, in order to provide a solid foundation for the further development of local-level participatory planning in Timor-Leste. An important aspect will be the facilitation of increased cooperation between civil society, government, and the private sector.
