- Narrative: Conduct advocacy capacity needs assessment for 50 justice sector and human-rights CSOs
- +Description:
- Narrative: The evaluation applied both quantitative and qualitative study methodologies. A survey questionnaire was developed to collect quantitative information while question guides were used for collecting qualitative data. Other data collection methods used were desk top/literature review, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key informant interviews with selected relevant Key stakeholders. 50 CSOs were purposively sampled among CSOs intervening in the Justice Sector. Out f the 50, 45 respondent to the assessment of which 40 completed the questionnaires. Despite the existence of spaces for CSOs engagement in public policy processes as well as commendable achievements especially in implementation of some policies, the following were highlighted as consistent challenges limiting CSOs advocacy work: However, there is limited understanding of the role that NGOs can play in relation to change was also found. The role of gap-filler in terms of service delivery was the most easily understood and accepted role of NGOs whereas the advocacy role was not always as welcome. It was reported that the Government often become/ remained reluctant to fully consider the perspectives and input on public policy provided by CSOs from policy research on the pretext that they provided inaccurate data. CSOs’ rely on funding from donors or government to implement their activities, which aggravates their limited roles in public policy processes. In addition, it was revealed that policy preferences are often centrally controlled by the top level of government that makes it difficult for CSOs to have an independent agenda and not be influenced by Government with respect to engagement in public policy processes and decision-making. It was reported that although there is a strong legal framework and political will, the operating environment for CSOs is to some extent controlled by the government. This mainly applies to CSOs that work on human rights or sensitive governance issues or those that dare to be openly critical of the government. Such CSOs may be subjected to legal action and this may create uncertainty for civil society activists who wish to engage in public policy issues that are sensitive. It was reported that despite strong partnerships with international NGOs and various donors for a considerable period of time, CSOs in Rwanda face a challenge insufficient funds and sustainability of activities as well as poor coordination and organizational capacity. This was said to be exemplified by not only the closure of some activities when donors’ support end, but also the turnover of staff in many CSOs, which results in skills and capacity retention problem. Consequently, CSOs engagement in public policy processes becomes limited. Another challenge mentioned was lack of capacity by CSOs to engage with government and local authorities in public policy and governance processes. CSOs tend to play a passive role of just following directives by authorities or donors which results in limited. Influence on policies. Building the capacity to engage with government would include strengthening policy analysis capacities, evidence based advocacy and coordination among CSOs.

- Narrative: Organize 11 roundtable meetings for District Councils and JADF committee members on justice sector CSOs’ advocacy role (district level)
- +Description:
- Narrative: YEAR I. This activity was implemented in 11 districts namely Nyarugenge, Kicukiro and Gasabo); 2 in Eastern Province (Rwamagana, Bugesera), 2 in Western (Rubavu, Karongi), 2 in Northern (Musanze, Rulindo), and 2 in Southern (Nyanza, Huye). By bringing together District Council and JADF members alongside CSOs in 1 annual meeting per district, these decision-makers were able to understand the contributions of CSOs. YEAR II. For the second time, the consortium embarked on a journey to conduct a series of roundtable meetings in 11 Districts. The meetings aimed at sensitising District Councils and JADF committee members on the role of CSOs in conducting citizen-centered advocacy and the benefits of strong collaboration with CSOs in achieving districts targets related to the justice and human rights. The meeting involved participants from CSOs operating at the district level, District Councils, JRLOS and JADF committee members. Activities were conducted in the districts of Nyarugenge, Kicukiro, Gasabo, Rwamagana, Bugesera, Rubavu, Karongi, Musanze, Rulindo, Nyanza and Huye. Overall 319 participants (203 males and 116 females) joined and contributed to the round-table meetings conducted in 11 districts. The participation of women (37%) is quiet lawer in compariosn to men (63%). We also noted a small number of participants who missed the meetings. The roundtable meetings were not only a space for reflection on the contribution of CSOs to district priorities, but also a space to generate adequate solutions to challenges CSOs encountered when engaging district authorities, particularly the JRLOS. In general district representatives reported an increased participation and contribution of CSOs in the district development agendas. For instance, since the onset of COVID-19, districts recognised the support of CSOs in terms of providing not only food relief to the economically vulnerable population, but also the continuous provision of legal aid for women who experienced gender-based violence during the lockdown. "Even though offices were not allowed to open due to the COVID-19 lockdown, we appreciate how quickly CSOs responded by putting in place digital solutions, such as hotline numbers for citizens to continue accessing legal aid services", said one representative from Huye district. District representatives in Muhanga and Rulindo Districts commended the tremendous contribution of CSOs in raising awareness of citizens on laws and human rights, supporting economically vulnerable women to access DNA tests for paternity cases or identification of the author of rape or child defilement, and the provision of legal aid support for vulnerable persons. They reported that CSOs became closer to the district which improved collaboration, transparency and thus increased trust. Participants reported also an increased trust of local authorities towards the role of CSOs in the promotion of justice and human rights sector. There is an increased participation and the contribution of CSOs in the implementation of district priorities, especially in the justice and human rights sector. For instance, in all districts where the project is being implemented, CSOs are represented in the JRLOS by two rganisations. This representation is a direct result of the sensitisation undertaken by the consortium during the first year of project implementation. According to participants at the round table meetings, they knew that CSOs were entitled for two representatives in the JRLOS committee at the district level – but due to mistrust and limited knowledge on the role of CSOs in terms advocacy, they had less interest for encouraging CSOs to participate. One participant reported that the round table meeting organised by IMRO was an eye opener because she better understood the advocacy role of CSOs and since, two CSOs were elected to join the JRLOS. According to her testimony, CSOs have brought new insight and perspectives into the committee. "I used to consider CSOs as opponents or organisations that serve western agenda. However, when CSOs joined JRLOS, I progressively changed my perception on them. Today I consider them as key partners in the justice sector", concluded a participant in Rubavu District. Building on the outcomes of the roundtable meetings conducted during the first year of the project implementation, the consortium has recorded encouraging results in terms of improved understanding of local authorities in relation to the advocacy role of CSOs and increased the trust between local authorities and CSOs. For instance one participant from Rusizi District reported: "It is my second time to attend the meeting of IMRO and my perception has changed. I now see civil society as an association of citizens' engaged in supporting and monitoring performance of leaders. Personally I believe it is a good thing to have citizens who can hold us accountable."

- Narrative: Facilitate 12 roundtable meetings for Ministry of Justice, government officials and Parliamentarians on justice sector CSOs’ advocacy role (national level)
- +Description:
- Narrative: YEAR I. In order to market the role of CSOs to state actors and bolster CSOs relationship and participatory engagement with government, 12 round-table meetings were successfully conducted at the national level involving high level officials and representatives of CSOs in the justice sector. On the outset, three round table meetings were merged to be able to host 91 (65 Males and 26 Females) participants from JRLOS and the technical working groups of the Ministry of Justice. The meeting was also an opportunity to officially introduce the project to justice sector and human rights stakeholders in Rwanda. In his opening remarks, Hon. Jonson Busingye, the Minister of Justice and the guest of honour, recognized the role of CSOs to uphold a positive impact on citizen’s access to justice and the enjoyment of human rights. He also reiterated the political will of the government to strengthen the working relationship with CSOs in the Justice sector. Thus a second round table meeting gathered 27 (18 Males and 11 Females) consortium members and JRLOS secretariat with the aim to strengthen partnership for a smooth implementation of the project. In collaboration with the Ministry of Justice, the consortium also organised a round table meeting gathering 63 participants (39 Males and 24 Females) from the TWGs (Two meetings merged into one). The meeting aimed at strengthening CSOs engagement in service delivery through the establishment of a strong working relationship within the Justice Sector and the engagement of Citizens and service providers. Building on good relationship and trust established along the previous roundtable meetings, the Ministry of Justice requested the support from the consortium to organise a meeting that gathered 62 justice sector stakeholders (41males and 21 males) in order to review and validate the 2019 – 2020 justice sector targets and related policy actions; to select policy related studies to be conducted in 2019 – 2020 fiscal year; to assess progress towards implementation of the 2018 – 2019 policy actions. The Ministry of Justice also requested the support from the consortium to organise a meeting of the TWG on the protection and legal Aid of GBV Victims in Rwanda. The meeting gathered 63 participants (33 Males and 30 Females). This was aimed at developing a common framework for collaboration of key stakeholders who are involved in interventions related to justice, reproductive health, psychosocial assistance and reintegration of GBV victims in Rwanda. Finally, in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice, the consortium gathered 64 justice sector stakeholders (38 Males and 26Females) for a ‘’Backward looking Joint Sector Working Review to Engage in Policy Dialogue and to Ensure Ownership, Accountability and Transparency of National Medium Term Development Strategy Implementation and Monitoring Processes’’ with the objectives to assess progress in achieving sector objectives with focus on 2018/2019 targets; to present and discuss budget execution performance for 2018/2019; to highlight priority areas for 2020/2021 fiscal year that will inform planning and budgeting process for institutions in the sector; and to review progress against implementation of recommendations from the last Justice sector meetings. The round meetings as mentioned above produced the following results: • Minister of Justice Commitment to work with and support CSOs in the justice and human rights sector (during his opening remarks). • Increased participatory engagement of CSOs (61 CSOs patriated) • JRLOS secretariat welcomed the project and accepted to partner with the consortium in the implementation of the EKN project; • Government agencies committed to work with CSOs in Justice sector reflected in provision of engagement spaces (participation in the 2nd UPR retreat in Nyagatare thereafter ; • Stakeholders committed to engage in ADR policies to end conflicts in the community through agreed recommendations • Increased collaboration between Government and CSOs participatory engagement of CSOs in JRLOs (39 CSOs participated). YEAR II. Taking advantages of virtual meetings organised by MINIJUST, the consortium pursued the engagement with public institutions with the aim to market the role of CSOs in the justice sector. For instance, with the support of consortium, more than 50 CSOs operating in the justice and human rights sector were invited by MINIJUST to participate and contribute in the process of developing the ADR policy. CSOs were invited to participate and contribute to the online CISCO WEBEX Meeting organized by the MINIJUST for the validation of ADR Policy on the 21st of May 2020. During his remarks, the representative of the Ministry of Justice recognised the contribution of all stakeholders, including CSOs, for the active participation and valuable inputs they provided along the whole process. He emphasised that CSOs should own the policy, disseminate it and continue to monitor its implementation. Thus CSOs committed to continue supporting the Ministry in the development of the justice and human rights sector, as well as contributing in the dissemination of the policy. The policy was validated and awaiting adoption by the cabinet. Since the introduction of the project, there has been a significant improvement in terms of collaboration between the public institutions, particularly MINIJUST and CSOs, coupled with an increased recognition of CSOs' role in the law and policy processes. In that effort, MINIJUST invited 10 CSOs to join and contribute to the JRLOS Sector Review Meeting. This meeting held virtually aimed at sharing achievements realised towards the commitments of the 2019 JRLOS Sector Review, and to strategically plan for 2021. Among emerging issues to focus on in 2021, there is the development of penitentiary policy to respond on the overcrowding of prisoners. The meeting was also an opportunity to reflect on roles of different stakeholders in the implementation of new commitments. For instance, one of the recommendations for CSOs, during the 2020 joint sector review organised by MINIJUST, was to lead advocacy efforts for the adoption of a Penitentiary Policy, and also to initiate national reflection on alternative measures to imprisonment with the view to reduce the overcrowding of prisoners. However, the implementation of roundtable meetings for the Ministry of Justice, government officials and Parliamentarians on justice sector CSOs’ role in advocacy, was disrupted by restrictions on gatherings implemented in the effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The activity will resume in the third quarter of the project implementation.

- Narrative: Map existing government spaces and produce a handbook on the extent of/ability for CSOs to participate
- +Description:
- Narrative: A mapping of spaces for CSOs engagement in Rwanda was conducted through a comprehensive literature review and consultations with relevant stakeholders through interviews with key informants in six districts of Kicukiro, Gasabo, Nyarugenge, Rubavu Rulindo and Bugesera. Consulted stakeholders include: 20 CSOs, 9 representatives of public authorities at central and local government, five representatives from INGO’s and 2 representatives from donor agencies. The mapping report contains a brief overview of CSOs’ international normative framework as well as a synopsis of the national legal framework. It further provides the legal and operational definition of CSOs in Rwanda and clarifies the legal mandate of CSOs. Furthermore, the report provides a brief CSOs’ situation analysis to place CSOs’ engagement in public policy processes in its proper context. While the general consensus is that spaces for CSOs’ participation are diverse, feedback points to capacity issues both human and financial resources as the critical limitation for CSOs’ to effectively engage in existing engagement spaces. The report introduces key spaces or institutions of engagement and they work. It also highlights how CSOs can access or work within these spaces; and where applicable, provides good practices, any other factors to consider and address to facilitate users of the guide to quickly locate and contact the institutions in charge of that space. The Justice, Reconciliation, Law and Order Sector (JRLOS) was highlighted as the main platform for engagement among CSOs intervening in the Justice and Human Rights sector. Respondents recognized JRLOS as a very effective forum for engaging on justice related issues. Other spaces such as courts through the public interest litigation, the Joint Action Development Forum, and CSOs created spaces such as dialogue forums, United Nations Monitoring Frameworks were highlighted as spaces for effective CSOs participation although, very few CSOs exploit them. On the basis of the findings of this mapping report, a CSOs user-friendly guide was designed and will printed for CSOs mainly operating in the justice and human rights sector to understand key spaces of engagement, their strengths and challenges so as to be able to strategically use these spaces.

- Narrative: YEAR I: HDI supported financially Rwanda Civil Society Platform to organize a CSOs consultation meeting on the NGO law. Additionally HDI supported AJPRODHO in the process of gathering CSOs assessing issues under the draft of tax law. YEAR II: Due to COVID-19 preventive measures, such as office closures and restrictions on staff movement as instructed by the Government of Rwanda, the consortium was not able to physically meet. In addition, not every CSO has access to the internet outside of the office. We were, however, able to mobilise CSOs that had the capacity to meet virtually. The consortium opted to keep CSOs engaged through the use of technology. For instance, during the total lockdown, we mobilised five CSOs to petition the Ministry of Local Government to include vulnerable women involved in sex work in the ongoing national relief support to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 lockdown. Additionally, we successfully mobilised 13 CSOs to sign on to the petition calling on the Office of the Prime Minister to harmonise the additional implementing guidelines to cabinet decisions in line with COVID-19 prevention and responses measures.

- Narrative: Facilitate justice sector CSOs empowerment meetings at the District level
- +Description:
- Narrative: YEAR I: 11 CSO empowerment meetings and 11 Training on Advocacy were conducted. The following are results: • CSO priorities and agenda set in preparation for District level meetings :( There has been a great linkage and synergy between the CSOs, JADF (District coordination) and JRLOS (Justice Sector) This result came answering our project annual expected result of strengthening partnerships between government, private sector, citizens, and NGOs to Fast Track national development and people cantered prosperity. • 50 CSOs which were not reporting to the District committed themselves to report their respective field activities; and to actively participate to JADF meetings and Open Day answering to our annual project expected result of a full involvement and commitment of CSOs into policy making and participation into District priorities (imihigo); • CSOs gained knowledge on effective advocacy, especially on evidence based advocacy and in Monitoring and Evaluation techniques; • CSOs gained knowledge on JRLOS and how to contribute to District Priorities • CSOs increased in Justice Sector at District Level from 22 CSOs to 292 CSOs working in Justice sector and Human Rights in 11 Districts • 11 Districts CSOs Platform was created through creation of WhatsApp groups, specifically a creation of a sub commission related to Justice Sector and Human Rights for any information to be communicated easily. • 50 New CSOs committed to reporting to JADF Offices New 50 CSOs started reporting @JADF Offices YEAR II: For the second time, the consortium conducted a series of justice sector CSO empowerment meetings in 11 Districts. The meetings aimed at encouraging cross-collaboration and reducing distrust among CSOs, raising awareness on key issues, and developing strategies to work with high-level officials and stakeholders. These meetings were conducted in the district of Nyarugenge, Kicukiro, Gasabo, Rwamagana, Bugesera, Rubavu, Karongi, Musanze, Rulindo, Nyanza and Huye.Overall 328 participants (197 males and 131 females) joined and contributed to the round-table meetings conducted in 11 districts. It come to our attention that the participation of women (36%) in the justice and human rights sector at the district level remain a concern. We also noted a small number of participants who missed the meetings. Through the follow-up, we learnt that the absence was associated with COVID-19. For instance in Rulindo and Gasabo, missing participants were either tested positive or have been in contact with persons who tested positive on COVID-19. The same situation happened in Kamonyi and Nyanza where participants located in remote areas were not able to join the meeting due to the suspension of public transportation facilities. In that framework, CSOs with membership to the JRLOS committee reported to contribute to the monitoring justice administration and human rights through the visit of prisons. For instance, JRLOS members in Gasabo District reported the release, from Rusororo police station, three minors below the age of 14 who were in detention on the ground of drugs use. However, CSOs reported challenges related to the connection between CSOs in the JRLOS and other CSOs. There is a need to establish a mechanism allowing CSOs in the JRLOS committee to regularly collaborate with other CSOs for more transparency and accountability. The empowerment meetings were also an opportunity for CSOs to determine advocacy priorities and set the agenda in preparation for district level meetings. On the 10th of December 2020, International Human Rights Day, the Rwanda Civil Society Platform (RCSP) organized a meeting, where JRLOS, President of the district, and many local leaders including the Mayor of Huye attended. At the meeting CSOs raised a number of issues that need adequate solutions in the justice and human rights sector. Among issues raised, we noted rights of detainees in relation to the principle of presumption of innocence; right to adequate salary with emphasis on the calculation of salary minimum interprofessionnel (SMIG) and the issue of forced disappearance in Huye district. The President of JRLOS thanked CSOs for providing constructive feedback and he committed to verify the information prior informing the competent organs for the improvement. Throughout the meetings, the consortium sampled 30 CSOs among organisations engaged during the first year of the project implementation. 19 CSOs reported that they were not able to undertake advocacy initiatives because of the pandemic, while 11 CSOs participated and contributed in IMIHIGO (2020-2021) processes as a result of the empowerment provided by the consortium in the first year of the project implementation. The pre and post-test findings demonstrated an increased knowledge, on JRLOS, its functions and the available opportunities on CSOs engagement, from 188 (57%) to 278 (83%). We also noticed positive results in terms of cross-collaboration between CSOs operating at the district level. For instance, in Kamonyi District we registered collaboration between the RCSP, members of Legal Aid Forum (LAF) and the faculty of law at UNILAK in conducting outreach programs to teach the local population how to file a complaint online. As it was not possible to physically conduct outreach programs in the context of COVID-19, they pursued the program using radio talk shows on HUGUKA Radio broadcasting from Muhanga District. In relation to legal aid services, we noticed an increased collaboration where legal aid providers advised their clients to contact LAF through the hotline for legal aid services.

- Narrative: Support 1 PIL case
- +Description:
- Narrative: YEAR I: A public interest case was identified for litigation. The case aims at challenging article 18 of the Presidential order No 31/01 of 25/08/2003 regulating compensations related to physical damages resulting from accidents caused by automobiles. The legal provision exclude children below the age of 16 benefiting from the compensations scheme. Following the identification of the case, lawyers were contracted for legal analysis, preparation and submission of court submissions, filing and litigating before the court. Currently lawyers have produced the court submissions and are organizing moot courts (court simulations). Thus after moot courts, the case will be introduced to the court. YEAR II: Following the identification of the case and preparation of court submission, the consortium conducted a series of consultations with insurance companies in order to know their position on the identified case. Along the process, insurance companies were not supportive of the case. Currently, the consortium is pursuing consultation with a senior lawyers to examine, not only the relevance of the case, but also to collect additional inputs for supporting the case. Throughout the consultation with the lawyers and other stakeholders, the consortium has learned about the ongoing process to revise the insurance law. So far it is not clear whether the revised law will address the issue of minors. Therefore there is a need to pursue follow-up on the development of the case.
