Legal Aid Society (LAS) Pakistan has been awarded ICRC funding for Phase 1 (Design and Validation) of the REACH KP: Justice Hubs for Women, Children and Families initiative. The six-month project runs from June to December 2026 and is centred on Peshawar District, with the objective of developing a pilot-ready Justice Hub model for a 12-month pilot in 2027 and subsequent KP-wide scale-up.

This consultancy covers the KP Justice Data Dashboard component, Deliverable D3, under Section 7.1 of the REACH KP Concept Note dated 14 April 2026. The assignment will run for four months from September 2026 to 15 December 2026.

LAS currently operates two data assets relevant to this component: the SLACC legal helpline, which has assisted over 550,000 calls since inception and captures KP-origin data on legal need patterns, GBV incidence and referral outcomes; and NAZ Assist, LAS's AI legal information chatbot, which generates structured interaction data. The dashboard will consolidate these with a third stream, Justice Hub case management data once the hubs become operational.

The assignment will design, build and pilot a BI-integrated Justice Data Dashboard for KP, providing a near-real-time view of legal need patterns, GBV incidence, documentation barriers and institutional response rates. The dashboard architecture must be finalised and tested with live data by 15 December 2026. Full activation will follow in Phase 2 once Justice Hubs are operational.

The delivery model is delivery-model neutral and may be fulfilled through internal technical capacity or external procurement.

To design, build and pilot a BI-integrated Justice Data Dashboard for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa that consolidates:

1. Justice Hub case management data.
2. SLACC helpline analytics for KP-origin calls.
3. NAZ Assist chatbot interactions.

The dashboard will provide a single near-real-time view of legal need patterns, GBV incidence, documentation barriers and institutional response rates across KP.

The dashboard architecture must be finalised and tested with live data by 15 December 2026. Full activation will follow in Phase 2 once Justice Hubs are operational.

The scope is directly drawn from Deliverable D3 of the REACH KP Concept Note dated 14 April 2026. The delivering party must not exceed this scope or commit to outputs not included in the Concept Note.

1. Requirements and Indicator Definition

• Agree with LAS programme and MERL leads on the indicator set.
• Define required disaggregations including gender, age, district and case type.
• Define user roles for LAS leadership, programme team and donor reporting.

2. Data Audit and Source Mapping

• Profile the SLACC case database and live call records for KP-origin data quality.
• Map NAZ Assist interaction logs.
• Define the intake data model for the Justice Hub case management data stream.

3. Architecture and Pipeline Build

• Design and implement the data warehouse schema.
• Develop extraction and transformation pipelines from the three source systems.
• Align the solution with LAS's existing BI infrastructure, including PostgreSQL and Metabase, to avoid duplicative tooling costs.

4. Dashboard Development
Develop dashboard views covering:

• Provincial overview
• GBV trends
• Documentation barriers
• Referral outcomes
• Institutional response rates
• Role-based access for LAS leadership, programme team and donor reporting

5. Testing with Live Data

• Load and validate live SLACC and NAZ Assist data.
• Reconcile dashboard figures against source systems.
• Document known data quality caveats.
• Conduct user acceptance testing with LAS programme and MERL teams.

6. Handover

• Produce administrator and user documentation.
• Train nominated LAS staff.
• Prepare a Phase 2 activation plan, including Justice Hub case management integration once hubs become operational.
