Timor-Leste Justice Institutions Strengthening Project
May 2005-March 2012
In June 2005, USAID awarded the Justice Institutions Strengthening Project (JISP) for Timor-Leste to MSD. The JISP builds administrative and management capacity in Timorese justice and oversight institutions with training and technical support on general administration, financial management, human resources administration, good governance and anti-corruption practices. The core of MSD’s approach is the development of justice and oversight institutions through the Financial Management Training and Support Project (FMTS) and the Inspection Services Projects within the Courts and the Prosecution. A key theme of the project is to support institutions in their management functions, enhance their effectiveness, and develop greater efficiency in their day-to-day operations. Extensions of project activities have allowed the JISP to consolidate and intensify support for justice and accountability institutions. The Project has expanded technical support to accountability institutions such as the Office of the Inspector General and the Office of the Vice Prime Minister, and plans to provide similar support to the Office of Public Defender and the Anti-Corruption Commission.
