- Description
- Internet & Computer Training Labs – Baghdad Courts: STATEMENT OF WORK 1.0 Background 1.1. The Iraqi Judicial System was poorly resourced be the former regime and suffered significant infrastructure damage during the war. Efforts by the Iraqi Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice Advisory Team, the US Armed Forces and others have been successful in repairing much of the damage to the Iraqi judicial infrastructure, vetting the judges and key personnel and modernizing aspects of the Iraqi Legal Codes. A review of the systems of the courts used by the various Baghdad courts by the 1st Cavalry Division revealed that the courts did not have adequately developed systems to effectively manage their dockets and coordination with other agencies. In a series of meetings with court personnel throughout Baghdad including the lower courts and the appellate courts, the need for immediate improvements to the capabilities of the court personnel to use computers and to communicate electronic data over the internet was established. These upgrades have been requested by Iraqi judicial personnel located throughout the city. 1.2. Development of computer literacy and access coupled with internet connectivity is a major step toward the long term goal of the development of a system wide court administration upgrade as it will set the conditions for the use of modern technologies to manage the dockets and business of the courts. These system upgrades are necessary to bring transparency and greater accountability to the Baghdad Courts. 1.3. In order to ensure that the courts are properly trained in computers and digital databases, and file sharing that will be required in the future, this statement of work will govern four broad areas: 1) the acquisition and installation of fully licensed MS Office (Arabic) and operating systems and an evaluation of the computers currently in the possession of the MOJ Advisory Team for suitability of the project. This will require an evaluation of the hardware to include whether Arabic keyboards are required and whether the computers can be used at all for the intended purpose; 2) installation of satellite based internet connectivity with required drops for the computers installed at the courts; 3) initial training offered at the courts with the installed systems for judges and personnel for 4 days with 4 hours of on- site follow-up training offered every week for 52 weeks after installation; 4) maintenance and troubleshooting of the machines and software for 52 weeks after installation 2.0 Objectives 2.1.
