This vacancy is open only for the applicants with the citizenship of or permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia.
The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia adopted the Law on Prevention of Corruption in May 2019 and foresaw its implementation as of 1 September 2020. As this is a new piece of legislation with high expectations about its application and impact, there is a pressing need for analysis of the effects it will have brought in a certain period. Moreover, analysis of the Law on Prevention of Corruption implementation effects is also foreseen in the Action Plan for the implementation of Chapter 23 (measure 2.2.1.2). The Anti-Corruption Agency and the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia are responsible institutions in this regard. To have this task undertaken, a clear methodology for analysis of the effects to measure the impact needs to be put in place.
In this context, the Anti-corruption Agency has requested the OSCE Mission to Serbia’s support and assistance to carry out the analysis of the Law’s effects using a specific methodology of utmost importance and will include techniques for data collection, processing and analysis. It will foresee a comprehensive set of guidelines, indicators and benchmarks to enable the measurement of the effects of the new law, particularly in the area of assets declaration and incomes of public office holders, prevention and detection of conflict of interest, anti-corruption assessment of draft laws and coordination of integrity plans development.
To this end, the Mission requires the services of a consultant to develop the Methodology in close consultations with the Anti-Corruption Agency. The consultant’s tasks are designed as to serve the core support of the Mission to the Agency in getting its staff, regulations and processes prepared for undertaking the task related to the analysis of the effects of the new Law on Prevention of Corruption.
