AIPJ: Monitoring And Learning Manager

Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ)

Monitoring and Learning Manager

Terms of Reference

General:The Monitoring and Learning Manager will carry out all duties for AIPJ in a manner which is fully consistent with the AusAID Monitoring and Evaluation Standards and will understand MdanL to be essentially the same as MdanE as described in the StandardsThe AIPJ Monitoring and Learning Manager will establish and maintain harmonious and effective relationships with all colleagues and partners and undertake his or her duties to a high professional standard.N N The AIPJ MdanL Manager will represent the best interests of AusAID, Cardno, and AIPJ in all matters when dealing with counterparts, team members and beneficiaries.N N In addition to working with all AIPJ staff and advisors, the AIPJ Monitoring and Learning Manager will work with, and be guided by, the Senior Monitoring and Learning Advisor primarily, and also by the Senior Gender Advisor, and the Team Leader.N N The Monitoring and Learning Manager will prepare reports and document progress towards achieving End of Program Outcomes (EOPOs) including making presentations to Indonesian agencies and other agencies on matters related to MdanL. Specific Background:
The fundamental purpose of Australian aid is to help people overcome poverty.N Poverty is not just economic incapacity, but also the denial of basic rights and the unequal ability to live with dignity.N Empowering the poor in realising fundamental rights can become a means of reducing and overcoming poverty.N
Australiaa �s aid program is guided by five strategic goals, one of which is effective governance. This includes delivering better services and enhancing justice and human rights for poor and marginalised people.N Effective governance places individuals at the centre, and therefore provides a voice for the marginalised, instils real transparency and protects rights.N
The Australia Indonesia Partnership for Justice (AIPJ) focuses on realising the rights of Indonesians, in particular poor women and people with disabilities.N AIPJ approaches realising rights by working in partnership with key government institutions (the supply side) as well as civil society and local communities (the demand side).N Building on successes of previous Australian law and justice programs, AIPJ focuses on the following rights: Legal identity (birth, marriage and divorce certificates) as one precondition to realising basic economic and social rights, such as education and health care.N The right to fair proceedings which are:Independent, impartialN Fast, consistent, affordable, accessible.The right to (legal) information.Having a clear legal identity, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, or a divorce certificate, is an important precondition to realising basic economic and social rights. Without such an identity, Indonesians, in particular women and children, may be denied basic rights and therefore the equal ability to live with dignity.N Establishing legal identity contributes to realising the Millennium Development Goals, for example ensuring children can complete primary schooling.N It also assists the government to provide basic services on the basis of more comprehensive understanding of actual demographics.

At the same time, a framework in which people are empowered to claim their rights and demand effective remedies is essential.N An independent and impartial judiciary, as well as proceedings that are fast, consistent, affordable and accessible, are key.N This includes working with government institutions to implement and deliver legal aid, and strengthening civil society organisations.
The right to (legal) information serves two purposes a � it enables citizens to protect their rights, and it provides the basis for accountability.N This right also reinforces other AIPJ interventions, either by promoting awareness of how to access targeted services, or by promoting accountability for performance in relation to specific reforms.
In working to realise these rights, AIPJ focuses on both the national and sub-national levels, where central decision-making is taken, and where lessons from the field can inform this decision making.N Support is targeted at areas Indonesia has identified as being of critical importance to the sector, and for which assistance is likely to bring about sustainable and meaningful impacts. These priority areas are: Judicial dispute resolution mechanisms; the Prosecution Office; Anti-corruption; and Legal Aid.
AIPJ will also work with oversight commissions, recognising the role of commissions in strengthening accountability of the custodians of justice systems, and through that accountability, driving strengthened performance.
AIPJ will work to develop the capacity of civil society including disability focused organisations to support law and justice sector reform.N This entails both organisational capacity strengthening, as well as technical support in areas related to realising rights, the priority areas identified above and areas that emerge as the partnersa � core mandate.N N It is envisioned that the network of organisations supported through this component would assist AIPJ to learn more about Indonesiaa �s efforts to reform the justice sector, as well as carry out research, inquiry and learning that will support the development and testing of innovative new approaches to implementing reform going forward.N
AIPJa �s approach to realising rights will be supported through partnerships and promoting policy dialogue between Indonesian and Australian law and justice institutions. This is in recognition of the growing Australian whole-of-government interest in building partnerships with counterparts in Indonesia, and the fact that some of the most successful activities under previous Australian assistance to the sector involved peer-to-peer linkages.N

Through the Realising Rights framework, it is hoped that by the end of AIPJ, thousands more Indonesians have established legal identities, and are therefore able to access basic services, that the Australian government has made a notable contribution towards realising the right to fair proceedings, and that access to legal information is increasingly available to all Indonesians, including people with disabilities. Further details on the framework are available from AIPJ.N
