SO-JUST Project
Call for Proposals from Civil Society Organizations who develop and implement programmes for Persons with Disabilities

The SO-JUST Project is a seven-year social justice reform initiative funded by the Government of Canada and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme, in partnership with the Government of Jamaica and civil society partners. The project aims to use an equitable human rights and gender responsive approach, targeting systemic change within the processes of the Ministry of Justice, its departments and agencies, the Courts, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and other state and non-state partners to improve social justice in Jamaica.  The project aims to increase access to justice for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and strengthen the capacity of the justice system to implement gender-responsive social justice policies and programmes. It reflects and integrates the four pillars of social justice, which are equity, access, participation, and rights, and adopts a gender-responsive approach.  

The SO-JUST Project call for proposals from qualified Civil Society Organizations (CSO) who develop and implement programmes for Persons with Disabilities, addressing the following objectives: 
 

• To develop and implement a training programme or curriculum in Jamaican Sign Language.
• To provide resources for persons with disabilities to facilitate enhanced learning and increased access to information.

This Call for Proposals falls under Output 3:  Strengthened Services to Women and Underserved Communities which seeks to increase access to justice for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups and strengthen the capacity of the justice system to implement gender-responsive social justice policies and programmes.
