Alternative approaches to access to justice in Kenya : a cost-benefit analysis
(2021-11-15) Katiba Institute; University of Nairobi; Kamau, Paul; Ghai, Jill Cottrell
Most rural areas are geographically located far away from courts or any justice institution, making it hard for residents to access them. This report analyses relevant literature and sets out the conceptual framework; discusses the obstacles that impede access to justice in Kenya; maps out the nature of disputes and existing dispute resolution initiatives; provides a cost and benefit analysis of the existing access to justice initiatives; and concludes with a summary of the key findings, making recommendations towards enhancing access to justice policies that relate to scaling of existing access to justice initiatives.

An analysis of benefits to women from different financial services : case study in Meiktila district, Mandalay region
(2021) Aung, Phyu; Win, Yi Yi; Hlaing, Khin Thandar; Aung, Nay Nay
This analysis focuses on women’s inclusion in financial services, and the factors that influence their ability to access financial resources. It traces patterns in the development of, and access to microcredit programs and their effects on women’s (and their children’s) lives. Women in the Mandalay region of Myanmar were interviewed (2019) regarding microcredit financing and access, the effects on poverty reduction, women’s empowerment, and any social benefits accrued through an increase in household income.
Barriers to women’s participation in the labor market in Myanmar
(2021) Lin, Eve Cherry; Thwe, Theint Kay; Thin, Thin
Employers in the formal sector in Myanmar actively discriminate on the basis of gender, age and education levels. Most employers prefer hiring young unmarried women. Participation in the labor force declines significantly after the age of 25. Women are generally expected to stay home to do reproductive and household work for the family. This study examines the internal and external factors that play a role in limiting women’s participation in the labor market in Myanmar. Direct quotes from interviewees provide a glimpse of the realities of being a working woman in Myanmar.

Brief 10 : Comparative findings and analysis across community advice offices
(2022) Martins, Winnie; Friedman, Carol; Mukorera, Sophia
This brief begins by comparatively analysing the quantitative data and outcomes from the ten case studies. It then compares the community-based paralegals’ (CBP) responses to the lines of inquiry, followed by thematic CBPs, focus group, and organisational affiliates responses. This brief analyses the data collected in relation to the five objective of the study which are to conduct cost-benefit analysis of the ten community advice offices (CAO) participating in the study; develop any evidence-based arguments regarding financial and human capital sustainability for and appropriate regulation and institutionalisation of the CAO sector; investigate ways that CAOs and CBPs advance African ways of knowing justice and governance in furtherance of Sustainable Goal 16; establish the role of network governance by CAOs regarding facilitation of effective justice system; and determine how to empower the CBP voice from a focus on basic justice services delivery to articulation of CAO sector advocacy and reform. The comparative analysis is presented according to each objective of the study.
Brief 2 : community-based participatory research methodology
(2022) Mukorera, Sophia; Martins, Winnie; Centre for Community Justice and Development (CCJD)
The study focuses on the models used by community advice offices in the South African provinces of Eastern Cape, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga during the period 2016 to 2018. Case management strategies were investigated, a cost-benefit analysis conducted and the perceptions of CBPs and service recipients on different aspects of community-based justice delivery were explored. This brief describes the research design and strategy followed in this study, which was driven by the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach. The methods used for sampling, data collection and data analysis are discussed. The reliability and validity of findings are considered in the context of the mixed-methods approach that was used. Ethical considerations and the possible limitations of the research design are discussed, as well as benefits that were found related to the use of the CBPR approach. The brief concludes with a summary.

Brief 9: the role of network governance in the CAO sector in SA
(2022) Martins, Winnie; Mukorera, Sophia
This brief presents the role of network governance in the community access office (CAO) sector in South Africa. There is limited research on the role of network governance by CAOs and community-based paralegals (CBPs) regarding the facilitation of effective access to justice in South Africa. There is, therefore, a need to bring the experiences of CBPs and service recipients in this regard into the open. This brief describes network governance and the nature of work that requires network governance; whom the CBPs network with and how they build the network; and the challenges and benefits they experience and opportunities to improve their networks. The brief presents the perspectives of CBPs and service recipients at the ten CAOs in this study, organized according to the five provinces where they are located. Evidence from two case narratives is presented. Comparative findings across all ten cases are presented, along with a summary of findings.
Building partnerships for scaling access to justice for survivors of sexual violence in Pakistan
(2018-04-29) Fawad, Mahnoor; Jilani, Hina; Shaikh, Saba Naveed; Dastak Charitable Trust (DCT)
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a prevalent issue faced by vulnerable segments of the population and disproportionately impacts women in Pakistan. While legislative and policy reforms have been endorsed at the state level to protect women their activation and implementation remains in a limbo. Focus on legislation and policy reform remains greater than enforcement of such laws and the establishment of protection mechanisms contained within. This and other factors including lack of resources, lack of awareness and inter-departmental coordination and under trained staff directly contribute to the weak response and underreporting of GBV. Having a strong understanding of the key challenges and hurdles in survivors’ access to justice and protection through Dastak’s extensive work in the field, this project was designed to focus on promoting the activation and/or usage of existing services within the Punjab Women Protection System (PWPS), increase interplay between Dastak’s work and state mechanisms, develop tools that to aid responders in the field to use WPS more effectively and improve the quality of response given to survivors of GBV.

(2019-08-27) Rural Support Programmes Network; Khan, Shandana Humayun; Dar, Sadaf; Zaman, Sarah
This is the closing report for the project “Building Partnerships for Scaling Access to Justice for Survivors of Sexual Violence in Pakistan”. The project aimed to provide systematic evidence on how police protocols, legal mechanisms and medical practices need to be revamped to ensure the dignity and just outcomes for survivors of sexual violence (SV), and feed into more effective practices and policies.
Building partnerships for scaling access to justice for survivors of sexual violence in Pakistan : case studies
(2022) Dastak
While women came to Dastak with common concerns such as domestic violence or abuse, each story is different and offered insights which could potentially help improve our understanding of women’s lived experience within a deeply patriarchal society. Dastak becomes a temporary home to hundreds of women every year and each of these women had a unique background and experiences. A need was felt to document not just these women’s biographical data but also the story of their journey to Dastak, their emotions and feelings, their experience of the women protection system in the country as well as their plans and hopes for the future. Dastak started in depth interviews with its residents after gaining their explicit written consent and created anonymous case studies so that Dastak’s work could be humanized and the survivor’s stories could be highlighted. The case studies also helped document insights and key learnings about the women protection system which could potentially benefit Dastak in future cases. Following are a few case studies of Dastak residents who were residing at the shelter between May 2020 and February 2022.
Building public support for and awareness on PPR Services with a human rights approach : community awareness campaign
(2022) Dastak
Beauty salons serve as safe community spaces where those who come to avail services often discuss/share their personal stories and domestic concerns. Having developed outreach in communities through its paralegals, Dastak saw this as an opportunity to improve knowledge on marriage rights and outreach of its services by providing basic training and information material to beauticians/salon owners and to enable them to guide their female clients as well as their employees to resources and knowledge concerning matters related to marriage and domestic violence.
