LEGAL EXPERT - LAND RIGHTS AND MINING (CONSULTANT)

In anticipation of new funding, the American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) seeks an international legal expert with specific experience on the rights of landholders in the context of large-scale mining. The individual should have comparative understanding of regulatory frameworks addressing this issue, particularly in Africa, and be in a position to assist civil society organizations in making concrete recommendations for appropriate legislative and policy reforms. Specific experience in legislative drafting is an asset.
