Organization of Justice Watch Afghanistan

The Organization of Justice Watch Afghanistan (OJWA) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded on December 5, 2020. It was authorized by decision number 5095, dated January 19, 2021, from the Evaluation High Commission of NGO’s Department. OJWA was initiated by a group of young and energetic Afghans who have long experienced turmoil in Afghanistan. We operate within Afghanistan’s legal framework, honoring the Constitution, NGO Law, and national regulations. Our aim is to promote sustainable justice and reinforce the bond between the government and its citizens, focusing on vulnerable groups such as women and children. Simultaneously, we are committed to offering robust support and essential resources to empower those in need and guide them toward freedom from poverty’s grip. Additionally, we have a plan to provide humanitarian aid to deprived and needy Afghan communities throughout Afghanistan in a transparent and fair manner:

Our Values

OJWAs operates its functions considering the following core values:

1. Transparency:

OJWA wants to make sure that its programs and activities are properly documented and accessible to beneficiaries, clients, and stakeholders. We want to assure that our partners have a full picture of what OJWA is planning, and implementing and what are the impacts of our activities.

2. Accountability and Demand-Driven Programs:

OJWA believes in projects/programs which are originally initiated by the demands of the community. We want to engage the community in the initiation, implementation, M&E, and impact assessment of our programs. All our activities are properly recorded by OJWA and communities to be presented to our clients and partners. We understand the dire need for our partners to know the problem analysis, realization, and influences of OJWA programs.

3. Integrity:
OJWA believes in trust building and the long-term sustainability of its programs. Such an approach primarily rests on the integrity and truthfulness of our organization. We believe that both internally and externally OJWA will adopt a policy of honest communication and on-time indications of contingencies, risks, or needs of a program. We will ensure an environment internally whereby every employee will freely speak their minds and on-time raise their voice regarding their needs consisting of capacity building or deviations from policies/code of conduct/conflict of interest etc. Externally we believe that honest communication and true representation of the picture to our stakeholders and clients is the key to trust-building and strategic partnership.
4. Human Resource Development:
OJWA believes that its employees must develop in terms of technical abilities, leadership, and management capabilities. OJWA plans to have a definite budget for skill building and training. The training will be designed after consultation with employees to do a proper needs assessment.
5. Community Engagement:
Community Engagement is the primary pillar of the success and impact of our programs. OJWA believes in the comprehensive engagement of community members from all ages and groups which includes but is not limited to community elders, Religious Scholars, women, youth, and others. Such an approach enables us to do proper needs assessment and smoothly implement our activities achieving the required results and impact.
6. Gender Mainstreaming:
The OJWA Human Resources policy strictly follows gender mainstreaming. We try to engage both genders males and females in our activities. In our recruitment policy, we give chance to female employees through positive discrimination. During the implementation phase of our activities, we try to engage communities of all genders and age groups.
