Please note that this is a consultancy assignment of a temporary nature, with an expected duration of approximately 108 working days within the period 15 March 2021 – 14 September 2021.
The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counterterrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, and decisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.
The OSCE Secretariat in Vienna assists the Chairmanship in its activities, and provides operational and administrative support to the field operations, and, as appropriate, to other institutions.
The Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA) deals with economic and environmental issues, operating under the premise that promoting economic prosperity and co-operation on environmental problems can contribute to international security and stability. The OSCE’s role is twofold: a) to monitor economic and environmental developments among participating States, and alert them to any threat of conflict, and b) to facilitate the formulation of economic and environmental policies and initiatives among participating States, to promote security.
Based on the request of the Ministry of Justice of Armenia received in 2019 to support the implementation of the anti-corruption reform in the country, the OSCE’s Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities (OCEEA), together with the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Armenia, launched the OSCE extrabudgetary (ExB) project on “Strengthening anti-corruption reform in Armenia” aimed at establishing and reinforcing national anti-corruption institution(s) with adequate human and technical resources to foster the country’s good governance reforms. The project has focused on targeted policy, expert, advocacy, and capacity building assistance in establishing anti-corruption institutions in Armenia that has produced tangible results in 2019 and 2020. In 2021, the OCEEA will continue the implementation of the project and focus on enhancing the operational capacities of the Anti-Corruption Committee.
To support the implementation of the project, the OCEEA/EGU/requires technical support and sound professional expertise in the field of anti-corruption as well as specific knowledge of Armenian context to successfully engage national authorities and international stakeholders. The Expert will be providing substantial and result oriented advisory services to the EGU/OCEEA that are both politically and programmatically sensitive, thus demanding permanent communication and co-ordination with the Ministry of Justice of Armenia, key international donors and other beneficiaries in Armenia. |
