Background:

A number of donor partners have played an important role in supporting the legal sector in Zanzibar. However, poor donor coordination of the limited resources amongst donors seeking to assist the legal sector has led to duplication of assistance in some areas and gaps in others. This calls for a donor mapping to ensure that the RGoZ generates a clear picture of actual and potential development assistance. This will facilitate better aid coordination and improve alignment with RGOZ priorities as aticulated in the national development plans and Ministry strategies. Specifically, and in the light of the Legal Sector Reform in Zanzibar, donor mapping will support resource mobilisation around the activities in the Legal Sector Reform Strategy.

Duties and Responsibilities

The Donor Mapping Exercise (DME) will provide further support to the work of Legal Sector in Zanzibar, particularly in the preparation, planning and development of the Legal Sector Reforms and the monitoring of the adherence to Paris Declaration principles in Zanzibar.

The purpose of the DME would be to track, monitor, analyze and prioritize aid rendered to the legal sector in Zanzibar by the international donor community, and thereby serve as a valuable planning and monitoring tool for the RGOZ, MoJCA and members of the donor community.
