PART 1: RESULTS PROGRESS

1.1	Overall project progress to date

Briefly explain the status of the project in terms of its implementation cycle, including whether all preliminary/preparatory activities have been completed (1500 character limit): 

Project preparatory activities were completed, and implementation is ongoing in accordance with the 2019 Annual Work Plan.

The project selected civil society partners to support community activities; and carried out key tasks including the roll out of a baseline study for the project and establishment of a participatory and gender-sensitive Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) mechanism.

Activities implemented at this stage of the project are basic foundational interventions and initiatives that lay the basis for achieving the project overall goal. Upcoming activities will mainly focus on follow-up discussions on issues of accountibility to strengthen reconciliation and supporting direct Law Reform Commission, INCHR, and CSOs engagement with the National Legislature to further strengthen collaboration and broader consultation in legislative reform and law making. 

Considering the project’s implementation cycle, please rate this project’s overall progress towards results to date:

In a few sentences, summarize what is unique/ innovative/ interesting about what this project is trying/ has tried to achieve or its approach (rather than listing activity progress) (1500 character limit).

The project works to advance reconciliation and sustaining peace through the county reconciliation dialogues that allows all members of the community, including women and youth, to participate in the process of healing and peacebuilding. The project's support to INCHR, LNBA, TJWG and the Liberian Legislature as well as independent advocates brings the issue of accountability to the fore of national political discourse. 

Today, unlike in the recent past, many Liberians are calling for or discussing accountability and establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court. The project's support to the construction of Memorials around Liberia - building on the Duport Road Memorial supported by UNMIL - is unique. The memorials serve as healing and source of reconciliation, and many see them as an honour for their loved ones lost in the civil war. They are also a major step in the implementation of the TRC as they were one of the recommendations. The reconfirmation of 203 mass graves listed in the TRC Report, with community involvement, is seen as part of healing and closure process. 

In a few sentences summarize major project peacebuilding progress/results (with evidence), which PBSO can use in public communications to highlight the project (1500 character limit): 

One key peacebuilding progress is the convening of the National Economic Dialogue in early Sept. 2019. It brought together major stakeholders to find ways of addressing the critical economic situation and concerns that partly led to a protest on 7 June 2019. Although this initiative was not originally part of the project, it was supported to promote Governement and the international community's efforts to reduce the threat to national reconciliation caused by the prevailing economic instability in the country. 

A National Consultative Forum and two review sessions with key stakeholders and Lawmakers as well as partnership with other agencies and stakeholders, contributed to the enactment of the Domestic Violence Act. The passage of the Act is an important peacebuilding result as it contributes to combating the increasing violence against women and other vulnerable groups, including children. 

A communique from the National Colloquium on Accountibility was also a major peace building progress. It calls for a holistic reparation program, and implementation of other peace and reconciliation programs. In support of one of the communique recommendation, the Liberia National Bar Association (LNBA) produced a draft bill for the establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court  in Liberia to be submitted to the Legislature. 

In a few sentences, explain how the project has made real human impact, that is, how did it affect the lives of any people in the country – where possible, use direct quotes that PBSO can use in public communications to highlight the project (1500 character limit):

If the project progress assessment is on-track, please explain what the key challenges (if any) have been and which measures were taken to address them (1500 character limit).

One of the key challenges is to get former legislators for interviews to prepare a lessoms learnt documentary; and to organise training that all current legislators will attend because of their schedule. Due to this the number of days for the training has to be reduced in order to accommodate all of them. The training has already been agreed for the month of February 2020 notwithstanding the unpredictability of the political situation given the upcoming senatorial elections.

Construction of memorials started during the rainy season. Majority of the target counties have poor road connectivity, and reaching the mass grave sites is difficult. 

If the assessment is off-track, please list main reasons/ challenges and explain what impact this has had/will have on project duration or strategy and what measures have been taken/ will be taken to address the challenges/ rectify project progress (1500 character limit):

1.2	Result progress by project outcome

The space in the template allows for up to four project outcomes. If your project has more approved outcomes, contact PBSO for template modification.

Outcome 1:  Outcome 1: Law-making, oversight functions of the Liberian Legislature and Law Reform Commission enhanced to review and align existing laws and bills for effective protection of human rights of all with emphasis on rights of socially marginalized groups

Rate the current status of the outcome progress: 

Progress summary: Describe main progress under this Outcome made during the reporting period (for June reports: January-June; for November reports: January-November; for final reports: full project duration), including major output progress (not all individual activities). If the project is starting to make/ has made a difference at the outcome level, provide specific evidence for the progress (quantitative and qualitative) and explain how it impacts the broader political and peacebuilding context. Where possible, provide specific examples of change the project has supported/ contributed to as well as, where available and relevant, quotes from partners or beneficiaries about the project and their experience. (3000 character limit)?  

Although the project started on a slow pace, implementation has picked up. A high quality video - in terms of form and matter - on lessons learned from previous legisltors has been completed. It will provide a good background for the current members of the Legislature to learn important aspects of their role of oversight, law making and representation. The tools and practical guidelines will improve legislators' performance as well as quality of bills and legislation, particularly those on justice and security. 

In partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection an advocacy and sensitization event was held from 19 - 20 January 2019 with Members of the National Legislature, civil society and traditional leaders to cultivate acceptance for the passage of the Domestic Violence Bill. The results of the initial consultative meeting created space to form a UN Technical Working Group that supported several government-led review meetings and public hearings on the Bill. These initiatives contibuted to the final review and passage of the Bill in the National Legislature. Although the provision on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) was removed, the Domestic Violence Act criminalizes various forms of violence against women, men and children; and ensures the protection of the most vulnerable. 

Two trainings were held to enhance capacity in legal review and legislative drafting for women from various sectors. The first workshop (19 - 22 August 2019)  was on Human Rights legal based review and law drafting; whilst the second training (27 - 30 August 2019) was on advocacy for the passage of gender sensitive bills. Another training for Legal drafters, Legal Counsels, Researchers, Analysts and Investigators from the National Legislature, the Independent National Commission on Human Rights (INCHR), Law Reform Commission, the Ministry of Justice and Members of the House of Representatives was held from 29 Aug. - 4 Sept. 2019. As a result of these trainings, participants acquired knowledge on CEDAW legal review and drafted a Legal Aid Bill and an anti-FGM Bill to make up for the FGM section removed from the Domestic Violence Act. The women also drafted advocacy plans to influence targeted laws and bills and have been trained to support the mainstreaming of gender and human rights in the legislative process. The Law Reform Commission (LRC) held a Strategic Forum on law reform and legislative engagement aimed at bringing together all the stakeholders involved in legislative process in order to strengthen their cooperation and enhance the work of the LRC. The forum identified lapses in amendment of law, law reform and bill drafting and ended with the adoption of a communique intended to ensure laws and policies drafted, reviewed, and/or enacted meets gender and human rights standards.

Outcome 2:  Transitional justice processes and institutional mechanisms increasingly facilitate the realization of right to truth telling, reparations  to achieve national reconciliation and peace 

Rate the current status of the outcome progress: 

Progress summary: (see guiding questions under Outcome 1)  

A National Colloquium on the implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) recommendations was held and produced a detailed communique. The communique called for a holistic reparation program, launch of an all inclusive community Palava Hut program, and implementation of other related peace and reconciliation programs. The inclusive Palava Hut process is suggested as a way of communities identifying issues that are a threat to peace and reconcilation, and dialogue to find amicable solution. This was be different from the previous INCHR-led process where INCHR identified the issues for discussion. The submission of a bill to the Legislature for the establishment of a War Crimes Court was also a key recommendation. In attendance from all the 15 counties of Liberia were government representatives, CSOs, Women and Youth groups, Chiefs and Elders, and members of the international community including UN, AU, Embassies, and INGOs. In support of the Communique, the LNBA has drafted a bill calling for the establishment of War and Economic Crimes Court for enactment by the National Legislature. The National Economic Dialogue, held in early Sept. 2019, further stregthened advocacy for  accountibility by also calling for establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court as one its recommendations. The stakeholders dialogue made recommendations to adress the critical economic situation and concerns including issues of accountability and peace. 
The initial phase of community dialogue has been completed. The aim was to increase participation of diverse stakeholders in developing the county reconciliation roadmaps, engender local ownership of reconciliation processes and to mitigate drivers of conflict. 42 peace and reconciliation meetings were conducted in 7 counties (Montserrado, Maryland, Grand Kru, Rivergee, Grand Bassa, Bomi and Gbarpolu) to build on the previous engagement by UNMIL. Each county reconciliation dialogue led to the elaboration of a five-year County Reconciliation Action Plan. A total of 1,985 community members participated in the 42 dialogues (1,207 male and  778 females) including local leaders, youth, women, disadvantaged citizens, security/law enforcement officers, and the media. Increased drugs addiction, crime, lawlessness, mob violence, land crisis, disrespect for local authorities by youth, rape and sexual violence, limited access to justice, corruption and illicit mining were identified as worrisome conflict triggers across the 7 counties. Using a bottom-up approach, 21 community dialogues to assess the conflict triggers were conducted, followed by 14 district level dialogues to validate the triggers identified. 

The design and procurement process for the construction of the first 5 of 14 memorials have been completed, and title deeds issued for some of the mass-grave sites. The remaining 9 memorials will be constructed in 2020 before the onset of the rainy season.

1.3	Cross-cutting issues 

National ownership: How has the national government demonstrated ownership/ commitment to the project results and activities? Give specific examples. (1500 character limit)
	A number of implementing partners, largely government institutions, participatated in the design and deveopment of the project and can hence claim ownership.  These partners are being encouraged to factor and budget for some of the project activities and follow-ups in their respective 2020 annual work plan and national budget for approval and Government funding.  
	
Monitoring: Is the project M&E plan on track? What monitoring methods and sources of evidence are being/ have been used? Please attach any monitoring-related reports for the reporting period. (1500 character limit)? 	Although theproject has an M&E plan, no monitoring has been conducted so far by the implementing agencies. A consultant was engaged to conduct a baseline study and establish a participatory and gender-sensitive monitoring mechanism. 	
Evaluation: Provide an update on the preparations for the external evaluation for the project, especially if within last 6 months of implementation or final report. Confirm available budget for evaluation. (1500 character limit)	Not due  - will commence in April 2020.	
Catalytic effects (financial): Did the project lead to any specific non-PBF funding commitments? If yes, from whom and how much? If not, have any specific attempts been made to attract additional financial contributions to the project and beyond? (1500 character limit)	As a result of the passage of the Domestic Violence Act, several UN Agencies and partners have taken keen interest in funding the implementation of the Act. The Spotlight initiative will fund the simplification and awareness raising of the Act.

Similarly, UN  Women's West and Central Africa Regional Offie (WCARO) project funded by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) will utilize the expertise of the pool of women trained on legal review and drafting and advocacy to proffer a bill around the existing Legal Aid policy.	
Catalytic effects (non-financial): Did the project create favourable conditions for additional peacebuilding activities by Government/ other donors? If yes, please specify. (1500 character limit)	The project created space for the Vice President of Liberia, H.E Jewel Howard Taylor to meet with the trained females who can support advocacy for gender specific bills. The women who had their capacity strengthened as a result of this program have become the key resource persons targeted by the office of the Vice President as advocates for the inclusion of Proposition 9 of the constituional review process. Proposition 9 calls for 15 additional seats to be occupied by women and other vulnerable groups in the Senate. This is amongst the propositions presented by President George Weah for inclusion in the ongoing consitutional review process.
 	
Exit strategy/ sustainability: What steps have been taken to prepare for end of project and help ensure sustainability of the project results beyond PBF support for this project? (1500 character limit)	The project's exit strategy is to encourage key government agencies to make these activities part of government budget at the end of the project. 	
Risk taking: Describe how the project has responded to risks that threatened the achievement of results. Identify any new risks that have emerged since the last report. (1500 character limit)	The holding of a National Economic Dialogue was a risk with a positive result. The dialogue was not originally included in the project but was later seen as a necessary intervention to address the growing instability, fomented by the June 7th protest, and caused by the prevailing economic decline. Despite the risk, the dialogue yielded commendable results by bringing together key stakeholders and national leaders to discuss and make recommendation for meaningful solutions. The agreed recommendations aimed at repelling the fast deteriorating economy, strengthening the reconciliation process, and reforming laws and policies to sustain the peace by ensuring guarantee of transparency and accountability.         	
Gender equality: In the reporting period, which activities have taken place with a specific focus on addressing issues of gender equality or women’s empowerment? (1500 character limit)	The project strongly focused on addressing gender issues and strengthening gender sensitivities, given the nature of the project itself.  This was in ensuring women's equal participate as well as addressing other issues affecting women. For example, on transitional justice, women and girls were the most affected during the Liberian civil wars  and still bear the brunt of the adverse effects. The project helps to ensure their voice is heard at the reconciliation table. The county reconciliation dialogues commenced with at least 40% women representation in 21 community dialogues held. The 3-day retreat with the National Legislature specifically focused on women participation in decision making processes and the Domestic Violence Bill passage, which had 21% feemale participation. The project also looks at passage of gender sensitive laws and improved legal drafting that does not discrimante against women and other vulnerable groups. Further, there was a 30% female participation in the National Colloquium. All trainings covered gender and human rights and are planned to include women and other vulnerable groups in legislation, advocacy strategy and other platforms.	
Other: Are there any other issues concerning project implementation that you want to share, including any capacity needs of the recipient organizations? (1500 character limit)

	None
