60Annex 3:Zambia Field WorkOne of the members of the evaluation team, Hellevik, undertook the case study inZambia. Zambia has 25 graduates from the SEARCWL. There are more non-lawyersthan lawyers coming from Zambia, with 7 lawyers and 16 non-lawyers. In addition,there are two upgraders where no status has been able to retrieve. 9 of the graduateswere police officers when they undertook the masters. Except for two of the othergraduates who worked in the NGO and INGO sector, the other graduates worked invarious positions within the government, some on legal work, such as one being alegal practitioner, another working as a legal officer and a third being a divisionalprosecutions officer. However, compared to Zimbabwe, it is striking that there havebeen no graduates from Zambia coming from the magistrates’ court or from theMinistry of Justice directly (but from underlying organisations, such as from theZambia Law Development Commission and from the divisional prosecutions office).The male participation from Zambia is higher than the female participation: 15 of thegraduates are male, 10 are women. In the focus group that was held in Lusaka allparticipants were male.In Zambia, both graduates working in Lusaka and some outside were interviewed tosee whether there was any difference in terms of their involvement on women’s lawissues after having graduated. There was not such a substantial difference as the oneswho were stationed outside Lusaka primarily worked in the police and worked onissues relate to women and children.Moreover, two employers of graduates in the police were interviewed and some keyinformants, among them two female judges - one working in the Supreme Court theother working in the high court. The one working in the Supreme Court happened tobe a graduate of the women’s law diploma at University of Oslo from 1988. Inaddition, some key informants were from in organisations under Ministry of Justice,such as the deputy director of the law development commission and one from theNGO WLSA Zambia. In Zambia, the composition of graduates in terms of theirwork places and professional background is different from Zimbabwe. Several of thegraduates have come from the police and have a non-lawyers background.Some of the graduates work in organisations which are organisationally placed underthe Ministry of Justice, such as the Law Development Commission, while otherswork in organisations associated with law practice, such as two graduates in thenational legal aid clinics (In Lusaka and the central province). The national legal aidclinic is under the Law Association of Zambia and reports to the women’scommittee in the Law association of Zambia. The reason for the lack of recruitmentfrom magistrates and ministry of justice are likely to be the self-recruitment among
the police, the reluctance to pursue a women’s law master instead of a generalmaster’s in law as argued by the board member in Zambia and probably also thelimited knowledge about this programme in the law community in Zambia. Forinstance, the key informant interviewed from the Law development commission inZambia had heard about the centre as she had previously been working in WLSAZambia, but was not in contact with them now.61
