The UK Department for International Development is looking for consultants to be involved in the development and implementation of programmes on Safety, Security, and Accessible Justice as part of its commitment to achieving the Millennium Development Goal of halving the proportion of people living on less than a dollar a day by the year 2015. We are looking for people who can use their analytical skills, knowledge and diplomacy to influence senior decision-makers in the design and implementation of justice sector programmes aimed at improving personal safety, security of property, and access to justice. Successful applicants will have a relevant qualification and a practical understanding of one or more of the following: alternative dispute resolution, civil society advocacy, community justice, court administration, criminal investigation, criminal prosecution, customary law, human rights law and advocacy, judicial training, juvenile justice, law reform, legal aid and legal services, legal education, legislative drafting, penal reform, policy formation, police/military relations, probation services, public interest litigation, and transitional justice in post-conflict societies. In addition to technical competence on justice issues, we are looking for an understanding of institutional development and an ability to take a strategic perspective. Skills in negotiating and influencing, team working, analysis and problem solving, and decision-making will be essential. You will need a commitment to development as well as sound cultural and political sensitivity. Experience with development projects or programmes would be an advantage. Successful applicants will be invited to join DFID's Governance Department register of consultants with proven competencies to work on law and justice issues for DFID programmes. Inclusion does not guarantee any contracts, but your name and CV will be placed on DFID's internal website so that it can be considered by colleagues in DFID when particular consultancy requirements are identified. Each piece of work will be covered by a separate contract. The closing date for applications is 2 August 2002.
