81273520-Long-term international expertise for legal aid services in Zambia & Short-Term Expert Pool
The contract is part of the project "Promoting Transparency, Participation and Access to Justice (EnACT)" in Zambia which will start in August 2021 and will last until July 2024. It has a financial volume of up to 13 million EUR.
The overall objective of the project is to improve the access of the Zambian population to accountable institutions, to justice and to transparent government decision-making processes (outcome level). To achieve this objective the module advises its various state and non-state partners on policy reforms in the areas of participation, anti-corruption, transparency, accountability, and access to justice. State actors at national and sub-national level (in selected provinces) and civil society stakeholders are strengthened in their ability to shape appropriate legislation and policies on the basis of constructive dialogues, to implement this legislation and policy, and to monitor implementation. Complaint mechanisms are reinforced to enable citizens to report cases of corruption and lack of transparency in service provision. Better quality of legal advice facilitates access to fair and transparent justice delivery services especially for women, youth and people living with disabilities (PWD) in the realm of civil law including land rights, inheritance and property settlement law.
The project aims to achieve its goal through four interlinked outputs. Output 1 aims to support state and non-state actors in participatory and evidence-based formulation and implementation monitoring of laws and policies. The objective of Output 2 is to strengthen selected accountability mechanisms of state institutions with the participation of civil society.
Output 3 aims at strengthening state and civil society actors in the field of justice and legal aid to provide fair and transparent justice service delivery to citizens, especially to vulnerable groups. The objective of Output 4 is to support the application of innovative tools of digital transformation in legal aid.

The contractor will be responsible for contributing to the thematic area of legal aid (output 3) by providing long-term expertise. The contractor will also contribute to the implementation of the other outputs by providing a short-term international and local expert pool. The tasks to be performed by the short-term experts include technical, process and organizational development advice, human capacity development measures such as trainings as well as research, monitoring, reporting and communication tasks and products.
Work Package 1: Legal Aid Services
The contractor will build strengthen different types of paralegal desks with a renewed focus on quality and sustainability. This approach tackles two main challenges: All desks depend heavily on external funding and women, girls, youth and PWD remain underrepresented among the beneficiaries. All activities under this work package need to be aligned with the technical and policy advice provided by the project staff to MoJ and LAB under output 1.
Thus, the contractor will focus on a) technical advice and capacity building for Legal Aid Service Providers; b) developing and implementing a strategy and implementation plan to increase access to legal aid, especially for women, youth and people with disabilities; c) improving legal aid service delivery via trainings, peer-to-peer learning, access to information and further education opportuinities.
Work Package 2: Fair and transparent processes in the justice sector
The contractor will contribute to the project"s work on policy (macro) and organizational (meso) level in the access to justice field. Work package 2 provides technical advice to governmental and non-governmental actors in the justice sector to ensure fair and transparent processes. On an organizational level the capacities and internal processes of relevant actors are strengthened to fulfil their specific mandate in the justice sector. Based on capacity building requirements and relevant topics to be identified by the contractor, the contractor will implement capacity development measures for relevant stakeholders such as the police, the National Prosecution Authority (NPA), correctional facilities, courts, the Human Rights Commission and Legal Aid Board.
Work Package 3: Communication, Cooperation and Coordination for fair and transparent justice service delivery
The contractor will continue the technical support to the already established Communication, Cooperation and Coordination Initiatives (CCCIs) in the form of process, organizational development and technical advice while at the same time establishing further CCCIs at the local level. CCCIs includes criminal justice institutions, civil society organisations, paralegals and other stakeholders working in the justice system. The contractor will also suggest where and how further CCCIs can be established in the target provinces. Due to the new focus on promoting transparency the consulting agency needs to explore how the CCCI or other cooperation mechanisms can be utilized to improve the resolution and documentation of corruption cases by strengthening cooperation mechanisms between the Anti-Corruption Commission, the Office of the Public Protector Zambia and other actors in the justice sector.
Provision and management of a short-term international and local experts pool
The contractor manages a pool of short-term international and local experts to provide technical services to the EnACT management, the team and project partners across all thematic work areas of the GIZ project: legislative and policy reform, viable civic space and dialogue, transparency and accountability, legal aid and legal tech.
The contract will involve the provision of one international (full-time) expert and three national (full-time) experts, one administrative position as well as the extensive involvement of a pool of both national and international short-term experts.
GIZ may optionally commission contract amendments and/or increases based on the criteria in the tender documents to the successful bidder of this tender. For details, please see the terms of reference.
