The J4P engagement strategy includes actions in four domains:
1. Influencing policy dialogue and operational activities by creating a verifiable, empirically grounded knowledge base of the dynamics of local level decision making and dispute resolution processes in ways that promote the voice and interests of people who are typically marginalized from such decisions.
2. Enhancing the capacity of local agencies to conduct policy research and influence reforms by establishing partnerships with government, research and non-government agencies to enable them to source and apply the skills necessary to determine priorities, conduct research and be effective in policy and operational activities.
3. Designing, implementing and evaluating results-oriented operations in order to both to directly pilot the application of evidence gained through research and contribute to the activities of client governments, regional bodies and donors focused on economic growth, equity and conflict management.
4. Contributing to global dialogue on pro-poor justice issues by drawing on the experience gained to prepare high quality research products and presentations to share knowledge in ways that impact on global justice and governance reform policies and practices of development agencies.
In the East Asia and Pacific region, the program is active in Indonesia, Timor Leste, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.
The Vanuatu program
In Vanuatu, J4P is engaged in two primary lines of work. The first, Land and Natural Resource Governance, aims to support research and policy dialogue on more equitable engagement of customary groups in land lease dealings. The second line of work, Access to Justice, has supported research on local level justice issues while contributing to policy discussions about development of the justice system as a whole.
In 2012-2013 the program will focus on the following priorities:
(i) Support the development of an operational model for the provision of advisory services to landholders;
(ii) Foster innovation in relation to processes of group decision making with regard to land dealings;
(iii) Support continued policy dialogue on land leasing issues
(iv) Support for more equitable public land governance
(v) Support for increased voice of customary groups in the process of planning and executing infrastructure projects.
Note: A potential candidate has been identified and intends to apply for this position. However, this remains a competitive process and interested candidates are encouraged to apply.
