Overview of position







UNDP’s project ‘Strengthening Local capacities for Resilience and Recovery’ is a three-year initiative, funded by the EU, aiming at supporting local authorities in Libya to respond to the many conflict and human mobility induced challenges – by strengthening the local resilience and recovery mechanisms – that impact negatively citizens’ access to essential services, sources of livelihoods, the social cohesion and security of communities– including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees – migrants and refugees.
The project will prioritize activities and investments at the local level that can reduce conflict-induced vulnerabilities, for host communities across Libya. More broadly, it will undertake activities and investments that can address pre-conflict horizontal inequalities between regions and social groups, that are related to gender, age or ethnic status. The project – which will be implemented through conflict-sensitive approach – will offer support to local actors in achieving concrete results in three areas: 1) service delivery; 2) social cohesion and community security; and 3) livelihoods and local economic recovery/development.
The National consultant will be responsible for providing coordination and administrative support to the international consultant to provide assessment of the Rule of Law institutions through completion of the capacity needs assessment for Benghazi, Tripoli and Sabha.
The scope of the assignment is to complete the rule of law needs assessment in the 3 selected municipalities, including a process-oriented analysis of the local justice systems and their integration with irregular migration; focusing on human rights challenges of the target groups (host communities, IDP’s, returnees, refuges and migrants). The consultant is expected to support in the conduct of need assessment in Benghazi and to help compile an assessment report together with the need assessments that were conducted in Tripoli and Sabha.
The intended beneficiaries for this assignment will primarily be legitimate state institutions (i.e. Ministry of Justice, courts, judiciary, prosecution, Bar Association, judicial police, prisons, Ministry of Interior, police) and the support should aim to identify programmatic points of entry to strengthen governance, independence, efficiency, and professionalism in accordance with guarantees of fair trial, due process and human rights, and with a view to reducing fragmentation and politicisation of the sector.
Specific justice and security needs in target municipalities will be analysed, with a view to identify the most relevant and feasible capacity development support that can be provided by the project (including basic rehabilitations and equipment, systems development, capacity-building, training and coordination). Needs assessment and gap analysis should be matched with feasible and implementable actions suggested for further project implementation. UNDP management approval will be required for each milestone.
