LAW is looking for a consultant to carry out a rapid final evaluation of one of its projects funded by Norad in South Sudan. The project focused on raising awareness on the role of women in transitional justice processes, empowering women to engage with transitional justice mechanisms when created, and more generally supporting the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda in South Sudan.

 

The project was implemented through four national partner organisations, who deployed 8 paralegals to gather feedback about what South Sudanese communities wanted the transitional justice process to look like, with a strong gender component. With this information, the project focused on building the capacity of local civil society organisations to advocate for the inclusion of the voices of women in future transitional justice mechanisms and for the adoption of transitional justice legislation that would respond to their priorities.

 

The review will start as soon as possible and will be entirely home-based with no travel to South Sudan possible. The deadline for reporting to LAW on the deliverables is 25 February 2021.
