The project is complementing the multi-donor Gender Justice through Musalahit-e-Anjuman (GJTMAP) program (2005-2011) in district Quetta of Balochistan. The ongoing GJTMAP program is strengthening the current GoP judicial system by supporting the 2001 Local Government Ordinance Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) platform, which is called Musalahit Anjuman (MAs). MAs are reconciliation committees at Union Council level, for dispensing quick and effective justice to violence victims. These MAs are to be constituted in the respective UCs, and consist of a panel of three persons (two men, one women) of integrity and good judgment from within the community. The MAs are to be appointed by Justice Committees, a body selected by the UC of the LGO. MAs are formed for handling community referred cases; however, police and courts can also refer pending cases. The project interventions will act as bridge between GJPRC Program ADR activities and the community in the project areas. In addition, the project will strengthen gender sensitivity of MA members and help relevant state institutions to identify gaps in service delivery and improve their capacity.
