Outreach Unit/Team (OT)

The Outreach Team is JSMP´s link with Timorese and international stakeholders. Its central task is to make JSMP´s work accessible to different audiences and assist the process of education and debate regarding important issues in law, justice and human rights. Outreach also conducts human rights monitoring in Dili and the districts. Outreach currently comprises three national staff members and one Voluntary. Another staff member works specifically on outreach projects within the Womens´ Justice Unit.

The Outreach Team has responsibility for five broad categories of activities. These are:

  1. Publications and materials. This includes producing educational materials, brochures and posters; editorial functions relating to JSMP´s thematic reports, justice updates and media releases; and maintaining a library of materials and publications.
  2. Information dissemination. This includes the dissemination of JSMP publications to key stakeholders in Timor-Leste and overseas; provision of information/materials to remote district communities; maintanance of JSMP´s internationally regarded website in the four languages of Timor; distribution of news and information through JSMP´s email lists; coordination of regular radio and television discussions on important issues; the production of programs (including dramas) for broadcast on Timor´s community radio stations; and the utilisation of local and international media to highlight issues of urgent public interest.
  3. Community Training. Since beginning its district training early in 2005, JSMP has visited all of Timor-Leste´s districts and plans to expand its efforts to sub-district level in 2006. The current program draws on the strengths of the Legal Research Unit, the Women´s Justice Unit and Outreach to provide a two day workshop covering general human rights issues, the formal legal system, legal processes, children´s rights, women´s rights, and practical information for victims in accessing justice through the courts. The workshops typically include the PNTL, district/sub-district administrators, villiage leaders, traditional law leaders, the church, and representatives from local women and youth groups.
  4. Networking. This includes maintaining mutually beneficial and constructive relationships between JSMP and government, civil society groups, community leaders, the Portuguese speaking community abroad and the media.
  5. Human Rights Monitoring. This work is conducted together with the UN Human Rights Unit and other Timorese NGOs. JSMP is building a database of human rights violations and refers cases to the new Provedor of Human Rights.

The Outreach Team was also crucial in disseminating information to remote communities regarding the Special Panels for Serious Crimes. This role continues with regard to ongoing developments within the justice sector.

Sr. Jose Moniz is the Outreach Coordinator. He can be contacted at moniz@jsmp.minihub.org.
