The Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs (MoJNCCA) - with support from GTZ - seeks to recruit a Senior Technical Advisor to support the re-design of the Governance, Justice, Law and Order Sector (GJLOS) Reform Programme and to coordinate related assignments to be finalised by latest 31 July 2011.
The non-renewable contract (duty station: Nairobi/ Kenya) is a full time engagement and is for a maximum duration of up to 12 months.
The GJLOS Reform Programme is a Government of Kenya led initiative - coordinated through MoJNCCA - that has been implemented since the year 2004, through a sector-wide, cross-institutional approach.
It has engaged the participation of over 30 Ministerial Departmental Agencies and Non-State Actors while drawing support from International Development Partners. GJLOS reforms have so far been pursued through a Medium Term Strategy framework which expired in September 2009.
To keep GJLOS institutions together and to maintain reform momentum, a short-term Bridging and Coordination Mechanism (BCM) is under implementation. This BCM prioritizes Agenda-4 reforms as well as activities related to designing of the next GJLOS phase.
During the implementation period of the Medium Term Strategy, various reviews and evaluations were carried out from which the Programme's achievements, failures, shortcomings and challenges are thoroughly documented.
These findings and lessons learnt will be critical in the process of designing the next phase whose implementation is expected to start at the beginning of Financial Year 2011/12.
