2. Overview of Performance

2.1 Calculation of Overall Performance

The programme has a total of 27 indicators, distributed across the 3 performance areas as follows:

Performance Area # Indicators

Area 1: Increasing Access to Justice for Vulnerable and Marginalised groups 11

Area 2: Programmes to increase Awareness and Knowledge of Constitutional Rights 8

Area 3: Programmes to enhance Participatory Democracy and Strengthening the Capacity of CBOs 8

Total 27

Table 2.1: Performance Areas: Distribution of Indicators

The percentage completed is calculated within each Area by calculating the percentage completion for each

indicator, by comparing performance to the annual target for that indicator. This will give a value between 0

and 1. Each indicator is then multiplied by the weight of that indicator (see details in tables below) and the

results summed to give the overall level of performance.

The completion percentages for each Area are given in the table below, with details of the data used for the

calculation of performance taken from Chapter 3. The detailed calculations are supplied in Tables 2.3, 2.4

and 2.5 below.

Performance Area Target for Q2 Performance

3. Project Narrative Report

3.1 Notes on Indicators

The sections below summarise the performance of the AJPCR programme with respect to the performance

indicators contained in the Annual Performance Plan of the DoJ&CD.

Note that, for the purposes of this report, all targets are cumulative over the three-year implementation period

of the AJPCR programme.

Detailed supporting information is provided in the Appendices.

3.2 Assessment Process

The grants award process consists of seven separate stages and is designed to ensure a rigorous, transparent

and unbiased assessment of applications.

1. Publication of the Call and the Guidelines for Application

2. Registration of Applications

3. Technical and Administrative Compliance

4. Independent Assessment

5. Strategic Review by FHR Project Management Unit

6. Evaluation by FHR Supervisory Board

7. Due Diligence

3.2.1 Publication

The Call for Applications is advertised in a series of national and regional newspapers. This information is

also published on the FHR, GCIS and SangoNeT websites.

The ’Guidelines for Applications’ and the Application Form are also made available on the FHR, GCIS San-

goNeT websites. These documents provide detailed information on the strategic aim of the Call; the eligibility

criteria and the method of application.

3.2.2 Registration

As soon as possible after the closing date for applications a formal opening and registration ceremony takes

place. This process is managed by the FHR Grants Manager and includes representatives from the DoJ&CD.

All applications are opened, assigned a unique identification number and the details of the applicant are entered

into a database.

3.2.3 Technical and Administrative Compliance

Each application is reviewed to determine whether:

• the applicant organisation meets the basic eligibility criteria specified in the Guidelines;

5 / 10215 / 10215 / 1021


• the applicant has completed all the compulsory sections of the application form and the application was

submitted before the deadline;

• the programme or intervention specified by the applicant organisation addresses the content of the

published Call.

The results of this process are entered into a database. Applications that fail the technical and administrative

compliance are eliminated from further consideration.

3.2.4 Independent Assessment

The independent assessment is undertaken by a group of external assessors under the supervision of an external

lead assessor. The assessment involves the detailed assessment of each application by at least two assessors

and a review by the lead assessor.

The first stage of the independent assessment is the compilation of a series of guiding documents by the

Grants Manager and the Programme Manager responsible for the Call. These documents include:

• A briefing document for the lead assessor, setting out the logic of the assessment process and the

responsibilities of the lead assessor;

• A briefing document for the assessors, setting out the logic of the assessment process and the responsi-

bilities of the assessor;

• A document outlining the scoring system to be used in the assessment and detailed instructions for

assigning scores.

The components of the assessment, and the relative importance of each component, differ between Calls but

generally include the following areas:

• Relevance

• Feasibility, project design, methodology & sustainability

• Operational and nancial capacity

• Technical Capacity

The assessors and lead assessor are chosen from a list of applicants who have responded to advertisements for

these positions and assessors who have completed similar tasks for the Foundation in the past.

The final score assigned to an application is the average of the two assessor scores. In cases where the

original two scores differ significantly a third assessment is completed. The lead assessor will also recommend

whether or not an application should be funded. In cases where an application is recommended for funding

the lead assessor will also indicate whether further investigation or clarification is required before such funding

is granted.

3.2.5 Strategic Review

After the submission of the final report, scores and recommendations by the lead assessor, a subcommittee

of the Programme Management Unit reviews the results of the assessment process. The aim of this review

is to determine to what extent the recommendations of the independent review meet the strategic criteria of

the Call. These criteria may include representivity at regional/provincial levels or among specific vulnerable

groups. The results of this review are consolidated into a PMU Advisory Note.

6 / 10216 / 10216 / 1021


3.2.6 Evaluation

The evaluation is undertaken by a subcommittee of the FHR Supervisory Board assisted by a member of the

DoJ&CD. The evaluation committee receives a pack containing the following documents:

• A review of the application process including all documentation used in the assessment phases.

• The detailed results of the independent assessment process.

• The PMU advisory note.

The evaluation committee will approve applications for funding subject to budget constraints and a due

diligence investigation.

3.2.7 Due Diligence

The due diligence investigation will determine whether queries raised about the project during the assessment

process (either by the independent assessors, the Programme Management Unit or the Evaluation Committee)

can be satisfactorily resolved. This will usually involve a site visit and document review by an FHR staff

3.3.1 KPI 1.1

Note that the quarterly targets are incorrectly reflected in the APP – the target of 45 CAOs established is

applicable over the lifetime of the AJPCR programme, from 2010 through to 2014.

The target of establishing 45 offices has been achieved by March 2012. A complete list of the advice offices

supported is included in Appendix A. The signed contracts for the supported CAOs are contained in the

document “AJPCR Programme – CAO Contracts”.

During this reporting period the Foundation has continued with the administration of the grants to these 45

organisations. These administrative tasks include:

• Conducting at least one site visit every six months

• Reviewing financial and technical progress reports submitted by the organisations

• Processing additional payments as per the contracts signed with these organisations

3.3.2 KPI 1.2

Note that the quarterly targets are incorrectly reflected in the APP – the target of 50 CAOs supported with

respect to capacity building initiatives has to be met over the lifetime of the AJPCR programme. The target

of supporting 50 offices has been achieved by March 2012. The signed contracts for the CAOs participating

in this programme are contained in the document “AJPCR Programme – Capacity Building for CAOs”.

Training sessions have been held in the Eastern Cape, Limpopo, Gauteng, Western Cape and the North West.

The details of the training sessions that have already been held, are contained in Appendix B.

A series of seven provincial workshops on PEPUDA were held in the last quarter of the 2011/2012 financial

year. A total of 910 individuals, including representatives from CSOs, Chapter 9 Institutions, Clerks of Courts

and officials from the DoJ&CD participated in these workshops.

A call for expressions of interest from popular education service providers was published in October 2011 (see

Appendix C.1) and a short-list of preferred service providers has been identified.

9 / 10219 / 10219 / 1021


During the first two quarters the key components of the programme were devised and a booklet on the Equality

Act has been developed.

The popular education programme will consist of a four-part radio programme that will include a short drama

skit, an information slot, a slot for expert commentary and phone-in responses from listeners. This programme

will be broadcast on a broad range of community radio stations. Additional printed material will also be

produced and disseminated in support of the programmes.

Based on the reach of previous community radio interventions we expect that approximately 3.5 million people

will access this intervention.

The concept note for the programme is included in Appendix C and the booklet is contained in Appendix C.3.

3.3.4 KPI 1.4

The Foundation for Human Rights (FHR), the DoJ&CD and the Department Of Social Development (DSD)

are working together to promote the use of restorative justice and diversion among CSOs. In order to increase

the use of restorative justice in all areas of the country, the partners have devised a programme to create

greater awareness around restorative justice, and to train and support more restorative justice and diversion

practitioners within both government and civil society.

The objective of this intervention is to assist in building capacity among civil society organisations that intend

to offer restorative justice or diversion programmes in their communities. The programme aims to create a

basic level of awareness of the key concepts and methods within the restorative justice and diversion areas –

this will then serve as a foundation for the development of specialist skills needed for the implementation of

processes or programmes. In so doing, the program aims to

• Equip service providers with the knowledge and understanding of restorative justice and diversion;

• Help service providers to understand the basic standards and principles of restorative justice and diversion;

• Help service providers to understand how these principles can be applied in practice; and

• Assist service providers to develop new programmes or adjust existing ones so that they fit within a

restorative justice paradigm.

A training manual has been developed and is included in Appendix

Three training sessions, each lasting three days, will take place on the following dates:

• 9 - 12 October, Eastern Cape

• 23 - 26 October, Northern Cape

• 21 - 24 November, KZN.

Additional training sessions may be scheduled in order to extend the reach of the intervention.

A copy of the workshop agenda is contained in Appendix D.2.

13 / 102113 / 102113 / 1021


interventions implemented under this sub-programme were completed in the 2011/2012 financial year, and

should thus no longer be reflected as being due under the current APP. The programmes were:

• A workshop on legal writing for women, organised jointly with SAWLA in November 2011.

• Two training workshops on legal judgement writing held in November/December 2011.

The details of these programmes are contained in Appendix H.

3.3.11 KPI 1.11

The following activities have been supported by the AJPCR programme with respect to this indicator:

Banjul. The FHR supported the participation of it’s own staff members as well as staff representing the

The African Decade of Persons with Disability (ADPD), the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) and

People Opposing Women Abuse (POWA). The workshop took place from 14 April 2012 to 2 May 2012.

The report on the conference from FHR staff, TAC and POWA are contained in Appendix I.1.

3.4.1 KPI 2.1

Prior to March 2012 a series of Public Service Announcements on the meaning and importance of Human

Rights Day was broadcast on 22 community radio stations as well as a SABC radio stations over a two week

period. These PSA were broadcast in all the official languages other than English.

The PSAs were conceptualised, tested and produced by a service provider (Kagiso Media) contracted to the

Foundation.

The strategy behind using radio broadcasts (and community radio in particular) is that:

• Community radio stations serve very specific local audiences, and there is a substantial overlap between

these audiences and vulnerable and marginalised groups;

• Community radio are largely operated, owned and driven by the communities they serve, thus providing

opportunities for partnerships with local advocacy groups.

The community radio stations played a total of 924 spots over a two-week period preceding Human Rights

Day. The list of community radio stations is included in Table 3.5 below. The reach figures are the Radio

AMPS figures for February 2011 obtained from the SAARF website.

Table 3.5: Community Radio stations broadcasting Human Rights PSAs

The estimated total reach (using February 2011 AMPS figures obtained from http://www.saarf.co.za/) of

these PSAs is 3.5 million listeners.

The Foundation intends to deepen the impact of the previous popular education interventions through the pro-

duction of programmes which target vulnerable and marginalised groups using multi-media tools and strategies.

This will include programmes to popularise the Equality Act.

16 / 102116 / 102116 / 1021


During the first two quarters of 2012 a concept note guiding the implementation of this programme was

developed. This document is attached in Appendix ??. The components of the proposed programme include:

• Programming on constitutional rights for community radio stations

• Electronic media on constitutional rights

• Fact sheets on the constitutional framework, political rights, socio-economic rights, environmental rights

and public institutions

• An interactive web-based education programme

3.4.5 KPI 2.5

The aim of these workshops is to allow CSOs to network on developments in the immigration sector, and to

develop comprehensive funding and advocacy strategies

A contract is being concluded with a service provider to produce a set of input papers to guide discussion at

these forums. We will hold five regional dialogues during the third quarter of the 2012/2013 financial year.

These will take place in Johannesburg, Limpopo, Cape Town, KZN and Eastern Cape. This will be followed

by a summative national dialogue in the fourth quarter of the financial year.

The participating organisations will include AJPCR grantees, other CSOs working in the area and grantee

organisations. This will also provide an opportunity for our grantees to share their programme work.

3.4.6 KPI 2.6

This dialogue will be conducted in the fourth quarter of the 2012/2013 financial year.

3.4.7 KPI 2.7

Between 31 October and 4 November 2011, the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF), and the

Foundation for Human Rights (FHR) hosted the “Reclaiming Stolen Lives: Forensic Sciences and Human

Rights Investigations Conference” in Johannesburg, South Africa. The five-day conference brought together

35 forensic experts, human rights activists, and representatives of victims families associations from nine

sub-Saharan countries: Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Nigeria, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa and

Zimbabwe. Forensic experts from Latin America, the United States and Europe also attended to deliver lectures

and provide input based on their experiences and regional perspectives. The conference aimed to promote and

strengthen regional capacity among forensic professionals and human rights organisations involved in forensic

investigations, with particular focus on human rights cases, to start or improve the dialogue between them,

to standardize forensic protocols and to explore the option of creating a regional network in the sub-Saharan

region.

A report on this conference is attached in Appendix M.

A national workshop on “Revisiting Redress through Reparations” will be held in the third week of November

2012. Details about the event are contained in Appendix M.

3.5.4 KPI 3.4

The AJPCR programme has supported a number of dialogues on human rights issues. These include the

following four dialogues:

Socio Economic Rights Institute (903)

The aim of the programme was to assess the implementation of the Housing Demand Database (HDD)

in the Western Cape and Gauteng. The project sought to find out whether HDD was truly bringing

housing to communities in need. The project included a study and discussions with affected communities

where issues around the lack of delivery of the HDD were discussed.

Bureaucracy and lack of government capacity in delivering the needed services was highlighted. These

were the main findings of the research conducted by SERI. It is hoped that these preliminary findings

will go a long way to providing further work on furnishing solutions.

A report on the intervention is contained in Appendix Q.2.

Eastern Cape Youth Dialogue

The FHR convened a youth dialogue focusing on the status of Youth in the Eastern Cape. A copy of

the dialogue report and the attendance registers of the event are contained in Appendix Q.1.

23 / 102123 / 102123 / 1021

3.5.6 KPI 3.6

This survey is being distributed to all CSOs in South Africa working with social justice issues. A copy of the

survey is included in The workshops will be conducted after the results are processed, most likely in the final

quarter of the financial year.

3.5.7 KPI 3.7

The AJPCR programme has supported two sets of workshops on gender-related issues:

Port St Johns Community Legal Advice Centre (2432)

The organisation is addressing the phenomenon of child rape and abuse in the communities of Itombo,

Vulindlela and Butulo in the Eastern Cape. Parents and families in these areas hold very conservative

views about sexuality and children who are victims of these circumstances are often rejected by their

families.

Port St Johns Community Legal Advice Centre conducted three educational campaigns on rape and

child abuse targeting school children in the affected areas, two community awareness campaigns covering

violence and rape, and a final workshop targeting women.

The success of the campaign was its ability to make women and children in remote areas aware of their

rights. Many members of the community have become aware of the advice office and would like to

continue using it a community resource. The community also made a commitment to help each other

in the fight against sexual and gender based violence.

The report by the organisation is contained in Appendix T.1.

Lotavha Advice Organisation (3823)

Lotavha advice organisation is located in the Vhembe district of Limpopo and is mainly characterised by

rural, peri-urban and farming communities. The community has high instances of HIV/AIDS. Focusing

24 / 102124 / 102124 / 1021


on this marginalised group the organisation conducted workshops to educate women in Tshiombo,

Watervall, Tshiugani and Madimbo villages about their rights.

An average of 50 participants attended each workshop. The workshops were characterised by lively

debate and in one instance the women of Madimbo in Musina wanted put their newfound skills in to

action by launching a community project.

The report of the organisation is contained in Appendix T.2.

3.5.8 KPI 3.8

The AJPCR has supported two initiatives that have advanced women’s rights:

Action for the Rights of Children and Women (2242)

ARCW aims to empower women and children to become responsible members of society. In their

campaign against the abuse of women and children the organisation sought to find long term solutions

to these challenges. Six workshops were held: 3 were targeted at girls,, there was a womens football

tournament and two other workshops.

The project uses sport and entertainment to make communities around Johannesburg aware of issues

around isolation, discrimination, HIV/AIDS and gender based violence. The organisation saw an increase

in participation numbers, especially for the football tournament. Part of the organisations approach is

sensitisation, by using more popular forms to communicate their message the organisation is able to

reach a wider audience.

The report of the organisation is contained in Appendix U.1.

Families South Africa Potchefstroom (2285)

The project looked at preventing domestic violence with a focus on fatherhood. A fatherhood seminar

was advertised in a local newspaper, those chosen for the program were trained by the organisation

to present a seminar on fatherhood. Community members requested that the seminars continue to

run beyond the lifecycle of the programme. FAMSA currently runs weekly and monthly meetings on

fatherhood.

To complement the seminar a similar approach was taken on domestic violence. Volunteers were train

and then presented seminars. The volunteers were part of an outreach programme. It is hoped that

the skills gained by the volunteers will assist them in gaining employment in the future.

The report on these activities submitted by the organisation is contained in Appendix U.2.

In addition applications for a call issued with respect to this indicator is currently being assessed. The

Foundation will make at least 10 awards based on this call.

The call guidelines are contained in Appendix U.3 The Foundation expects to make at least 10 awards.

3.6 Challenges

3.6.1 Project Management

It is important to note that the work does not end with meeting the indicator. Between March and September

2012 the Foundation signed 98 new contracts bringing the total number of projects funded to 391. The

Foundation is currently project managing 307 open projects, all of which will close at the end of 2013.

25 / 102125 / 102125 / 1021


3.6.2 Meeting the Indicators

It is unfortunate that the DOJ&CD have in their Annual Performance Plan provided for quarterly targets as

the nature of the programme is such that quarterly targets are difficult to achieve. Meeting the indicators is

the start of a further process for the Foundation which involves the project management of the Grants and

services awarded including monitoring and evaluation and measuring impact. Despite these difficulties the

Foundation is committed to achieving the goals on the programme.

3.6.3 Concern

A major concern for the Foundation is that the Third and final tranche payment from the European Union

has not yet arrived. The Foundation continues to contract, and is then committed contractually to paying out

the amount. It is a little risky doing so when the funding has not yet arrived.
