Expert positions

The Programme for Legal Aid and Empowerment in Kenya (PLEAD) aims at providing access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels. It targets the counties with the 5 largest urban centers of the country and 7 counties of the most marginalised area of Kenya (North-Eastern Kenya) and has a duration of 5 years. A financing agreement between the EU and the Republic of Kenya has been signed in August 2017.

The first component of PLEAD will support the National Legal Aid Service under the Department of Justice with the implementation of its mandate which is to develop and provide legal services in the context of the new legal aid bill.

The technical assistance package, which is part of this first component and which will be the subject of this tender, concerns:

• A permanent technical assistance expert to serve for the whole duration of the PLEAD project which will support the National Legal Aid Service in operationalising its EU funded programme estimate.  The long-term expert will also support the overall coordination of the PLEAD programme.
• A short term TA facility to provide technical assistance on an on-demand basis. Possibly 1 or 2 short term experts should be able to start immediately upon award of the contract.
