SENIOR JUDICIAL EXPERT
In 2006 the National Assembly of Guinea Bissau approved a National Strategy for Defense and Security Sector Modernization and Reform that outlines seven strategies to reform the police and defense sector as well as the civilian management bodies responsible for implementation of the Security Sector Reform (SSR). Because of its extremely fragile political situation, the country has been placed on the Peace Building Initiative agenda and is thus the recipient of increasing levels of aid to consolidate peace and accelerate human development. In line with the Peace Building Initiative approach, and with its Poverty Reduction Strategy, the Guinea-Bissau Government identified several strategic priorities related to the Rule of Law and Security (ROLS). Under the ROLS programme, UNDP initiatives are expected to tackle problems and challenges in the following areas:
The RoLS was fully revised in late 2010 with a clearer emphasis on access to justice and decentralization of justice in the regions. The new programme envisages one component fully dedicated to support the establishment of a Judicial Training Centre (school for magistrates) called CENFOJ in Guinea-Bissau and a legal aid and access to justice component, comprised of legal aid offices in several regions, mobile courts, working on mediation etc. Under the overall supervision of the UNDP Programme Specialist this consultant will provide specific services to assist the development of the two components mentioned above - support to CENFOJ and legal aid mechanism. The incumbent will be responsible for developing the necessary procedures to support preparatory regulations and mechanisms to ensure the successful launch and adequate implementation of these components and also secure national consensus and ownership of the process. He will also provide judicial training and mentoring of national partners in these two components as adequate. While doing so he will ensure high-level policy advice to the relevant counterparts and lead policy advocacy in the programme area and liaises with UN and external development concerned parties, Government officials, technical advisors and experts, multi-lateral and bi-lateral donors and civil society in the areas pertaining to the programme. The incumbent is expected to serve as a senior advisor to perform functions in line with the current Terms of Reference.

Payments are based upon output, i.e. upon delivery of the services specified in the TOR. In order to assist the requesting unit in the comparison of financial proposals, the financial proposal will include a breakdown of this lump sum amount (including travel, per diems, and number of anticipated working days). All envisaged travel costs must be included in the financial proposal. This includes all travel to join duty station/repatriation travel.

The financial score for the financial proposal will be calculated in the following manner: Sf = 100 x Fm/F, in which Sf is the financial score, Fm is the lowest price and F the price of the proposal under consideration. (Total Financial Maximum points = 100 points) Total Score The technical score attained at by each proposal will be used in determining the Total score as follows: The weights given to the technical and financial proposals are: T= 0.7, F=0.3 The Total score will be calculated by formula: TS = St x 0.7 + Sf x 0.3 TS - is the total score of the proposal under consideration. St - is technical score of the proposal under consideration. Sf - is financial score of the proposal under consideration. | |||||||||||||||||
