Antecedentes

In September 2009, the Legal Sector Master Plan (LSMP) was officially adopted by the Government of Lao PDR. The Master Plan lays out a framework for the country’s first broad-ranging legal reform in order to achieve its ultimate goal of establishing a rule of law state by 2020. It is a comprehensive and candid statement of the current needs of the legal system as well as a series of guiding principles for developing a rule of law state and action plan to achieve this goal. The Plan represents an effort at coordinated legal system development consistent with the guidance of the political report of the 9th Party Congress.

In order to support the implementation of the Master Plan, UNDP, together with other donors, has launched a new project (Support Project for Implementation of the Legal Sector Master Plan “SPLSMP”) in early 2014. As the first attempt towards a programme-based approach in the legal sector of Lao PDR, the SPLSMP is expected to deliver the following 6 key outputs:

Enhanced capacity, procedures, and standards for legislative development and implementation in Lao PDR (implemented by the Ministry of Justice - MOJ)
Improved mechanisms for effective legal institutions and systems at national and local levels (implemented by The Office of the Supreme Public Prosecutor)
Improved capacities of human resources in the legal and judicial sector (implemented by the Ministry of Justice)
Increased public understanding of legal rights and information, and increased participation in the legal system (implemented by the Ministry of Justice)
Continued ratification of key international conventions and norms, and enhanced implementation, enforcement, monitoring, and reporting under international legal instruments accepted by Lao PDR (implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs)
Enhanced capacity of the Secretariat to coordinate and implement the LSMP (implemented by the Ministry of Justice)

Deberes y responsabilidades

Under the SPLSMP, the Office of Supreme People’s Prosecutor (OSPP) among other things is currently focusing on building staff capacity including the capacity of senior personnel to better respond to increasing demands and needs in the justice sector in Lao PDR. Towards achieving this objective, OSPP conducted a training needs assessment to identify capacity gaps of professional staff working across the country.

Several training requirements were identified during this assessment and it was decided to focus of training of people’s prosecutor’s officials at various levels, particularly the people’s prosecutor’s officials rank 3 on a priority basis. The SPLSMP project has thus agreed with OSPP to support the process of developing the required curricular and supporting the trainers at the OSPP training center to roll out training of people’s prosecutors officials rank 3 to selected number of OSPP officials.

To address this need the SPLSMP project, is seeking the services of the independent international consultant to review curricular to suit the requirements of OSPP and support its trainers to rollout the training of people’s prosecutors officials rank 3. The duration and the modalities of the training will be decided by OSSP in consultation with the project and the expert.

The consultant will be based at the LSMP secretariat and will work in close cooperation with OSPP, MOJ, Chief Technical Advisor and the Legal Programme Specialist of the SPLSMP project based at the LSMP Secretariat. The Consultant will report to the Head of UNDP Governance Unit.

This consultant will be for a period of 9 working days spread over a period of two weeks.
