SUBJECT: TAJIKISTAN: JUSTICE SECTOR REFORM PROGRAM GRANT AWARD
1. Summary: Post requests INL Washington approve and sign a grant
for $33,435 to the NGO Child Rights Center to implement a portion of
the mission's overall justice reform program. The International
Narcotics and Law office Dushanbe solicited proposals for grants to
reform the Justice Sector. The embassy's Development Assistance
Working Group chaired by the Deputy Chief of Mission examined and
approved the project proposal "Legal Support to Children in Conflict
with the Law and in Closed Institutions" submitted by Child Rights
Center. End summary.
2. NGO Child Rights Center will implement an assistance project to
raise the legal awareness of specialized groups of children and
their families, protection and promotion of child rights, and
professional support for and improvements to the state juvenile
correctional and detention facilities.
3. Children in conflict with the law are particularly vulnerable to
violations of their rights. None of the administrative detention
centres or prisons provide effective programs of rehabilitation.
Institutional staffs are poorly trained, motivated, and monitored,
leaving the children vulnerable to abuse. There is limited support
for children when they return to the community increasing their
chances of family breakdown, homelessness, unemployment, and
recidivism.
4. While the provision of legal assistance cannot overcome all the
current problems in the system, it would provide fundamental due
process, see that the child's rights are recognized, and that the
child is represented and supported.
5. Fiscal data for the project:
1911-X1022.0005-00-0289-0289625003-2721-4121- IN41TJ25 (FY 2006).
Post requests that INL Washington approve and sign the grant of
$33,435 submitted through the INL Purchase Authorization system.
