Albanian Electronic System for Monitoring of
Domestic Violence Cases and Referral Mechanism

• Prepared by Elvana Gadeshi, Monitoring and
  Evaluation Expert, Refleksione Association,
  Albania

2
Introduction

• The Albanian Network against Gender-Based
  Violence and Trafficking implemented during
  November 2007 March 2010 the project, titled
  Making it Real Implementing the Law against
  Domestic Violence in Albania.
• 5 districts in the country Rrëshen, Shkodër,
  Berat, Pogradec and Vlorë were the target area of
  the project implementation.

3
Main goal of the project

• Establishment and functioning of cross-sectoral
  referral system of domestic violence cases,
  making possible the practical break-down of the
  law in question.
• Setting up of an electronic data system based on
  case management, which will make possible the
  effectiveness of the referral mechanism set up in
  a local level.

4
Results in framework of setting up an
cross-sectoral referral system of DV cases.

• Five Council against Domestic Violence (CaDV) a
  decision-making mechanism, made up of
  representatives from different state institutions
  and organizations are established
• Five Technical Working Group (TWG) an
  implementing mechanism of decisions made in CaDV
  are established.

5
Preparation of the Data Collection System Based
on the Management of DV Cases at Local Level

• What is the Electronic System for Data Collection
  of domestic violence cases management (DCS)?

6
How is Electronic Data Collection System (DCS)
built?

• DCS consists in three main sections
• Section of specific case data
• Section of data on case management
• Section of reporting

7
How Data on the Treated Cases Were Collected and
Inserted Into DCS?

• A data collection form/questionnaire was designed
  and used, which contains the sections that DCS
  itself contains
• Involved project experts in each of five
  municipalities made possible collection of data
  through these forms, adapting in many cases the
  data according to forms of other institutions
  (for example in police stations/commissariats the
  data are collected based on their specific
  forms).
• The expert who built the DCS reflected into the
  system all the cases collected according to the
  data contained in the relevant data collection
  forms.

8
How Can Data Collection and Data Insertion Into
the DCS Continually and Regularly Go Ahead?

• The data in the system could be filled in by the
  project experts in cooperation with relevant
  trained persons in every municipality (domestic
  violence specialists).
• The responsible person for the system maintenance
  and updating of the data will be the specialist
  nominated in the municipality organizational
  structure as Specialist for Domestic Violence.

9
How Can Data Collection and Data Insertion Into
the DCS Continually and Regularly Go Ahead?

• The reports generated by the electronic system
  should be shared regularly with members of CaDV-s
  and TWG-s, and also with municipal council
  memebers.

DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONING OF THE CROSS-SECTORAL
REFERRAL SYSTEM, BASED ON DATA COLLECTED AFTER
THE END OF FIELD INTERVENTION

• From the data already collected and registered in
  the DCS, 204 (two hundred and four) domestic
  violence cases resulted to have been treated
  multidisciplinarily for the period September 2008
  June 2009. This figure reflects the total of
  cases registered and treated for this period in
  all five municipalities where project
  implementation was focused.

1. In all five districts there is a list of actors
   to address the problem of domestic violence
   identified by the community as contact points,
   which are part of the cross-sectoral referral
   system. In three districts this system appears to
   function very well, in the meantime in Pogradec
   there is a need for improvement of its
   functioning, whereas in Rrëshen, the mechanism
   has not yet been made functional.

ConclusionElectronic system of data collection
for reported violence cases helps

• In improvement of work between actors
• In the analysis of the phenomenon and
  identification of possible problems in order to
  address them and find a solution
• In creating of another level of responsibility
  between specialists of data collection
