| Following a formal launch in Dili on 25 March 2015, the Counterpart International Ba Distrito Baseline Survey, prepared by SSD in 2014, is now available online (see link to left). Titled 'Ba Distrito Baseline Survey 2014: Local Governance and Access to Justice in Timor-Leste', the survey is based on interviews with 958 randomly selected community members from the municipalities of Baucau, Covalima and Oecusse, and explores the following themes: Theme 1: Citizen's understanding of their role in political processes. Theme 2: Citizen's knowledge and awareness of decentralisation. Theme 3: Knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the sucos, and suco service provision. Theme 4: Access to Justice. Amongst other findings, the results of the survey highlight the resilience and popularity of suco (village) dispute resolution/justice systems as well as the importance of improving gender and human rights outcomes associated with these systems. The data also underscores the need for improved awareness and educational activities concerning the legislated responsibilities of suco councils. |
