This project is part of the Civilian Deployment Platform, which provides Canadian experts to organizations to support increased peace, security, and stability for people, particularly women and girls, in fragile and conflict-affected states. This project deploys a Canadian expert to Justice Rapid Response (JRR) in Monitoring and Analysis, which seeks to improve Canada’s response to conflict, crises and natural disasters. JRR manages a roster of international experts trained in criminal justice and human rights, which is accessible to the international community to investigate, analyze and report on situations with reports of serious human rights and international criminal violations.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) strengthened JRR’s institutional capacity to develop and implement quality Monitoring and Analysis systems; and (2) strengthened JRR’s institutional capacity to mobilize resources from a wider range of institutional donors.

Results achieved as of (October 2020) include: (1) Justice Rapid Response (JRR)’s improved quality of reporting has provided greater clarity on the results achieved by the organization worldwide and has enabled the organization to grow from a roster of 19 experts in 2009 to a roster of 725 experts in 2019 with 50 professional specializations; and (2) JRR has increased and diversified its donor base and has transitioned from a structure based on operational functions (recruitment, deployment, etc.) to a structure based on JRR’s programmatic result areas, thus increasing donors’ confidence in the organization, and improving JRR’s response to fragile and conflict-affected states with reports of serious human rights and international crime violations.
