Freelance Event Organiser in the Middle East and North Africa Programme
Call for proposals for the position of: Freelance Event Organiser in the Middle East and North Africa Programme
Starting date: February 2012
Place of work: TI Secretariat in Berlin in the TI Middle East and North Africa Department. The assignment requires that the appointed Consultant travels to and spends period of time in the MENA region
Closing date: 6 January 2012
Introduction
TI is the global civil society movement leading the fight against corruption. Through more than 90 national chapters worldwide, and an international Secretariat in Berlin, Germany (TI-S), TI raises awareness about the devastating impact of corruption and works with partners in government, the private sector and civil society to develop and implement effective measures to tackle it.
To increase understanding of awareness, and create space and leadership for anti-corruption reforms in the Middle East and North Africa, the TI MENA Programme is seeking to bring together governance/anti-corruption experts, and civil society stakeholders in a series of three high level regional conferences, scheduled to take place between June 2011 and February 2013.
Transparency International Secretariat (TI) in Berlin is inviting proposals from motivated Freelance Event Organisers to coordinate the organisation of these three conferences in the region.
Background
The MENA region has entered a new era where the public in these countries is calling for citizenship. They are reframing their relationship to their own governments, and at huge risk if need be. They want to be an active partner in designing new constitutions, laws and policy-making. The public in the MENA region is inherently aware that changing the way governments run their administrations and making governments more accountable are imperatives in improving the economic and social fabric of society.
Fighting corruption and promoting transparency are key elements in this equation. Corruption hinders institutional reforms and has a detrimental effect on the wellbeing of millions of people across the region.
Studies recently completed by TI demonstrate that reforms do not go far enough. One of the key challenges at this moment in time is to promote a cycle of reform demand and reform implementation, and ensure that relevant conditions are in place. Anti corruption activists need an analytical framework and tools with which to work, while there also needs to be strong political will from the side of the government.
The TI MENA Programme
This Programme focuses on Civil Society Organisation (CSO) empowerment, supporting the momentum that currently exists in the MENA region with the most relevant and successful TI services, tools and solutions and by so doing making a difference in the fight against corruption in this region five years from now.
In this process, TI will reach out to new partners while deepening its work with existing partners, providing them with additional tools to ensure that successes on the anti-corruption front are sustainable and replicable. More importantly, we will promote collaboration across the region so that our new partners can benefit from the experience and expertise of the more established Chapters.
