J4P is an analytical and operational program that supports the emergence of legitimate and effective justice institutions in contexts characterized by institutional fragility, legal pluralism, and acute asymmetries of power. The program takes as its premise that issues of law and justice cut across all sectors of social and economic life, and that equitable development requires an engagement with the dynamics of existing rule systems and the relationships of power that underpin them.
The J4P engagement strategy includes actions in four domains:
1. Influencing policy dialogue and operational activities by creating a verifiable, empirically grounded knowledge base of the dynamics of local level decision making and dispute resolution processes in ways that promote the voice and interests of people who are typically marginalized from such decisions.
2. Enhancing the capacity of local agencies to conduct policy research and influence reforms by establishing partnerships with government, research and non-government agencies to enable them to source and apply the skills necessary to determine priorities, conduct research and be effective in policy and operational activities.
3. Designing, implementing and evaluating results-oriented operations in order to both to directly pilot the application of evidence gained through research and contribute to the activities of client governments, regional bodies and donors focused on economic growth, equity and conflict management.
4. Contributing to global dialogue on pro-poor justice issues by drawing on the experience gained to prepare high quality research products and presentations to share knowledge in ways that impact on global justice and governance reform policies and practices of development agencies.
In the Solomon Islands, J4P is engaged in two primary lines of work. The first, Justice Delivered Locally, aims to support improved security and dispute resolution at the local level through an appropriate mixture of state and non-state systems. This will be achieved by: a) enhancing access to affordable, quality local justice institutions in Solomon Islands, b) assisting Solomon Islands to get the balance right between efficiency and legitimacy in the architecture of its justice institutions, and c) enhancing regional public policy conversations around justice issues by offering research and pilot experiences on viable, ‘best fit’ domestic justice systems. The second line of work, Doing Business in the Context of Legal Pluralism, aims to foster evidence based policy dialogue about the ways different legal structures (public and private) support or inhibit inclusive and durable private and public sector investment in a context of strong legal pluralism. The program is specifically focused on how communities, investors and the government access advisory resources in the context of deal-making, and on urban public land governance.
In Vanuatu, J4P is also engaged in two work streams. The first, Land and Natural Resources, aims to facilitate more inclusive and equitable engagement of customary landholders in the formal economy through enhanced understanding of land leasing. The program does this through extensive field research, convening multi-stakeholder forums and providing technical assistance and policy advice. The second work steam, Access to Justice, aims to contribute to the national access to justice strategy by enhancing understanding of the type of justice problems people face and the type of mechanisms people use to resolve disputes and access development benefits.
The EAP-J4P program also focuses on land and natural resource governance and gender as thematic issues at the regional level.
