[legal-professionals] Technical Legal Assistance -- Justice System Reform in Ethiopia

Greetings to all!

This memorandum is to notify you that the ABA-UNDP International Legal 
Resource Center (www.abanet.org/intlaw/ilrc) has received a request from 
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Office in Ethiopia for 
one long-term international consultant (initial mission can last up to six 
months) to serve as a lead advisor for a comprehensive justice reform 
program underway in Ethiopia. The initial mission is expected to start as 
early as November 2002.

The "Ethiopian Justice System Reform Programme", jointly sponsored by the 
Ministry of Capacity Building and UNDP, is expected to include various 
components covering legislative reform, court administration reform, law 
enforcement enhancement, and legal education and training improvement.

Given the large scope of this initiative, UNDP/Ethiopia prefers an 
international consultant not only with excellent overall experience in 
designing and implementing legal and judicial reforms, particularly in 
developing countries, but also someone through whom further institutional 
support will be readily available.

Please find below a detailed TOR for this request. If you AND your 
affiliated organization are interested in offering long-term legal 
technical assistance to Ethiopia, please contact me by email or phone 
before cob Friday, September 27, with the following documents:

1) Express of Personal Interest from you to lead the initial mission, with 
your updated CV attached;
2) Express of Institutional Interest from a representative of your 
affiliated organization, with an institutional capacity statement attached.

As always, we appreciate your assistance and please let me know if you have 
any questions.

With Warm Regards,

Hongxia
