Access to justice and law is a basic principle of the rule of law as well as a right recognized under the main international and regional human rights instruments. As a guarantee of the effectiveness of individual and collective rights and the rule of law, the Government of Mozambique considers access to justice and law a fundamental right recognized by the Constitution of the Republic of Mozambique (CRM), and is committed to protecting access justice and to ensure its protection through the various political and regulatory instruments of the sector, including the Government's Five-Year Plan 2015-2019, whose strategic objective IV aims to “ensure closer and fairer justice for all, focusing on effectiveness of fundamental rights, duties and freedoms of citizens whose materialization prioritizes the need to ensure greater access of citizens to justice and law and to promote research projects on justice matters ”, and the Integrated Strategic Plan of the Administration System of Justice.
Notwithstanding its importance and interventions by the Mozambican Government during the last quinquennium, access to continuing justice is an exclusive right for some and not comprehensive. Some of the problems of access to justice for the Mozambican citizen are:
The lack of timely and relevant legal and human rights information and data for evidence-based planning and policy-making is a major problem for the development of evidence-based sectoral policies that can be monitored, evaluated and improved. There is therefore a need for further investigation into access to justice in Mozambique.
Accordingly, the MJCR intends to prepare a Baseline Study on Citizens' Access to Justice Services 2015 – 2019. The study will be conducted with the support of the Project “Strengthening Access to Justice, Promotion and Human Rights Protection 2018-2021”, activity 1.2.1. The project was launched in November 2018 and aims at strengthening access to justice and the promotion and protection of human rights with a focus on women, PLHIV, prisoners and other vulnerable groups, as well as to strengthen the capacity of lawmakers and law enforcement agents to prevent and combat gender-based violence and to deal with situations arising from stigma and discrimination associated with HIV and AIDS in Mozambique.
The baseline will contribute to the following project results:
Outcome 1: “Increased Access to Justice at national and local level, focusing on leaving no one behind”, Output 1.2: “Strengthening Provision of Justice Services at Local Level”.
These TORs also allow, within the scope of the Spotlight Initiative, to implement Activity 5.2.4: Implementing the justice sector baseline to assess the current state of justice services.
Outcome 2: “Quality, disaggregated and globally comparable data on different forms of VSCMR, including VSBG / PN, collected, analyzed and used in accordance with international standards to inform laws, policies and programs.”
Output 2.1: “Quality data on girls and women victims of sexual violence prevalence and/or incidence, including GBV, are analyzed and made publicly available for monitoring and reporting on SDG indicators 5.2 and to inform evidence-based decision making.”
