THE CONSULTANCY:
IDLO is currently undertaking various activities under the US State Department (INL) funded project Developing Legal Education and Training Institutions in Southern Sudan.

The LTI is envisioned by the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) as the focal institution to ensure legal practitioners obtain the minimum qualifying standards for legal practice and are equipped with requisite skills to fulfill their duties in the legal sector. The overall strategic objective of LTI is to contribute to the rule of law in South Sudan by providing legal professionals – including public servants, prosecutors and lawyers – the necessary knowledge and skills to perform optimally, on a level that is competitive with similar institutes in the region.

Identifying critical areas for continuing legal education (CLE) training in South Sudan and design necessary policy and/or training curricula/modules; and
Developing and designing a system of accreditation for training programs, examinations and other assessments with regards to practical legal training in South Sudan.
The assignment shall be undertaken in Juba, South Sudan with travel to other South Sudan states. The consultant will report to the IDLO Country Director in South Sudan and work closely with the Legal Education & Training Advisor.

Experience working in South Sudan would be an asset.
