DescriptionInnovative Interventions:Community Land Protection Program - In June, Namati and its partners launched the results of a two-year experiment to title community lands held under customary land tenure in Mozambique, Liberia, and Uganda. We found that paralegals can effectively assist communities to document their land claims and to improve local systems for natural resource governance. Namati's Program Director for Community Land Protection presented the results at the World Bank's Conference on Land and Poverty in May 2012. Namati's Community Land Protection Program was implemented alongside in-country partners in Liberia, Mozambique and Uganda, who each received a grant from Namati to support their CLPP work in 2012.Description

251940Global legal empowerment network: Namati launched the Global Legal Empowerment Network site in early 2012. The network currently hosts over 1,000 members from 240 different organizations around the world. Fourteen accomplished legal empowerment practitioners formed a "Network Guidance Committee." In April, Namati and Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) held the network's first regional meeting, which convened over 50 participants from across South Asia in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The meeting was an opportunity for organizations to improve their capacity to monitor, evaluate, and ultimately enhance the impact of legal empowerment work. A second regional meeting in Kampala, Uganda, brought together 50 paralegal organizations from 20 African countries to share experiences regarding paralegal methodology and policy and to develop plans for improving program operations. On July 26th, meeting participants adopted the Kampala Declaration on Community Paralegals, which calls on governments to recognize the role community paralegals play in providing primary justice services, to invest in the scale-up of paralegal efforts, and to protect the independence of paralegals. Signatories also commit in the declaration to strengthening the quality and consistency of paralegal efforts, through better training, supervision, and community oversight. Namati co-hosted regional meetings in Buenos Aires, Argentina in September and in Jakarta, Indonesia in November.
35736Research:Drawing on our own experience and that of the wider network, we advocate for and advise on reforms to policies and institutions.

IdentifierProcedure for Monitoring Grants Outside the U.S.:Identifier
ExplanationSchedule F, Part I, Line 2: Namati has developed a Grantmaking Policies Manual, approved by its Board of Directors, that provides guidance for Namati staff for entering into, managing and closing out grant agreements with its country-based implementing partners. Namati awards grants to partner organizations on an invitation-only basis. Partner organizations are selected from among the many organizations familiar to Namati that are working on legal empowerment issues. Oftentimes, Namati staff have already visited the partner organizations and have held planning sessions with leadership from those organizations before they are invited to submit a funding proposal. Namati's selection process includes a vetting of the organization and their key personnel in compliance with U.S. anti-terrorist law as well as an assessment of the organization's capacity to implement the proposed program and manage the grant funds. Namati's grant agreements with recipient organizations identify the Namati staff person responsible for technical oversight for the grant, establishing program objectives and deliverables and creating progress and financial reporting frameworks with due dates. These grant agreements clearly state that no additional funding will be transferred to the recipient organization if the terms and conditions of the grant are not met. With regard to implementation, in several cases Namati staff is working alongside the staff of its implementing partners and will have ongoing access to the partner organization's financial records. On other occasions Namati staff visits its partners on a regular basis and reviews financial records during those visits, per the terms of the sub-agreement between the two organizations. Namati also receives financial reports with budget comparisons on a quarterly or semi-annual basis (according to the terms of individual grant agreements) as well as annual audit reports from its partner organizations.Explanation

Return ReferencePart I, Line 2:ReturnReference
ExplanationSchedule I, Part I, Line 2: Namati has developed a Grantmaking Policies Manual, approved by its Board of Directors, that provides guidance for Namati staff for entering into, managing and closing out grant agreements with its country-based implementing partners. Namati awards grants to partner organizations on an invitation-only basis. Partner organizations are selected from among the many organizations familiar to Namati that are working on legal empowerment issues. Oftentimes, Namati staff have already visited the partner organizations and have held planning sessions with leadership from those organizations before they are invited to submit a funding proposal. Namati's selection process includes a vetting of the organization and their key personnel in compliance with U.S. anti-terrorist law as well as an assessment of the organization's capacity to implement the proposed program and manage the grant funds. Namati's grant agreements with recipient organizations identify the Namati staff person responsible for technical oversight for the grant, establishing program objectives and deliverables and creating progress and financial reporting frameworks with due dates. These grant agreements clearly state that no additional funding will be transferred to the recipient organization if the terms and conditions of the grant are not met. With regard to implementation, in several cases Namati staff is working alongside the staff of its implementing partners and will have ongoing access to the partner organization's financial records. On other occasions Namati staff visits its partners on a regular basis and reviews financial records during those visits, per the terms of the sub-agreement between the two organizations. Namati also receives financial reports with budget comparisons on a quarterly or semi-annual basis (according to the terms of individual grant agreements) as well as annual audit reports from its partner organizations.Explanation
