The present assignment will lead to the finalisation of a second version of the guidance
document which will cover all developing (and not only ACP) countries. For that purpose,
the present assignment will be based in particular on a representative review of EC support
in the justice sector, which will be complementary to the one carried out under the previous
study (which was limited to ACP countries and EDF programmes). This review will be
carried out through a desk study combined with field studies.
Qualifications:
Experts should be specialized in justice reform, at least MA level, extensive
knowledge in justice, rule of law and human rights within international development
cooperation
field work experience in the justice sector, proven knowledge of EC support
programmes in the justice sector and of EC Aid Modalities. Publications on the subject
will be an asset.
The team should cover expertise in both the Common law and the Civil law systems.
Since sector budget support will be an issue, knowledge of sector budgetary practices is
required.
Previous work on EC projects and knowledge of its contractual and financial procedures
will be considered an asset.
