Non-state implementing partners were integrated into the structure of the JUST in the 2018/19 Fiscal year.  The JUST can be divided into three components, as follows:

A) Technical-Legal Assistance Component: This component involves deployment of Canadian technical experts and Justice Canada personnel to Jamaica, to work with the Ministry of Justice, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Courts to address a wide range of matters aimed at improving the capacity of core justice sector institutions to manage and implement their core business.

B) Institutional Strengthening Component: This component involves strengthening the technical and result-based management capacity of the Ministry of Justice, primarily through the establishment of the Justice Reform Implementation Unit (JRIU).

C). Social Order Component: This component will focus on initiatives aimed at improving the capacity of women and men and girls and boys to equitably access gender-sensitive justice information, advice and services, as well as improving the capacity of citizens, civil society representatives (including women’s rights organizations) and legal professionals to participate in the justice reform process. 

This consultancy falls under the Social Order Component and is designed to fulfil the immediate outcome of increased equitable access by women, men and youth to legal information, legal advice and support services, and will do so through the development of Multimedia Products.
