Evaluation of the UNICEF ‘Improving Access to Justice for Children and Women’ Project
Overview
In PNG, children face elevated levels of violence with devastating consequences for their health, wellbeing, and development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5, 8, and 16 set out specific goals and targets to prevent and respond to all forms of violence against children. While the Government of PNG has made progress in establishing and implementing legal and policy frameworks which addresses the right to protection and the interaction of children with the justice system, some challenges remain. Against this background, the Australia Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is generously supporting the ‘Improving Access to Justice for Children and Women’ project. Under two outputs covering the enabling environment and service provision for children, this project aims to support the Government of PNG to implement pivotal legal and policy frameworks on child protection and child justice, thereby not only strengthening the child protection system as a whole but also legally empowering children coming into contact with the law and ensuring that no child is left behind. This independent evaluation is being undertaken to assess the effectiveness, equity, sustainability, gender equality and human rights-based approach of the project. The evaluation will provide evidence on progress along the seven (7) elements of UNICEF’s focus in child protection systems strengthening (i) legal, regulatory and policy, (ii) governance, (iii) services, (iv) standards and oversight, (v) resources, (vi) participation and (vii) data, as well as the results achieved for children coming into contact with the law themselves, with a view to future programme design and strategic focus. The evaluation will obtain and reflect the views of children themselves on their access to justice and legal empowering in PNG.
