Job Title: Rule of Law and Security Program Specialist Organisation: United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Location: Port-au-Prince, Haiti Closing Date: 18 August 2020 Salary: Not Stated Contract Type: Fixed Term Working Pattern: Full Time Sponsors international candidates? Yes Job Description The UNDP Haiti Country Programme 2017-2021 focuses on three mutually reinforcing areas of cooperation: democratic governance and the rule of law; poverty reduction; and resilience. This programme is in line with the national priorities as set out in the 2012-2030 Haiti Strategic Development Plan, the 2018-2021 United Nations Development Assistance Framework and the UNDP Strategic Plan. It aims to support the Government of Haiti in its long-term approach to sustainable development, emphasizing the need for rapid progress towards the achievement of national goals for Goal 16, so as to build on progress towards the achievement of other sustainable development goals. In recent years, steps have been taken to strengthen the rule of law in Haiti. Despite these efforts, judicial institutions continue to be weak and lack independence. Their capacity needs to be strengthened, especially with regard to supporting planning and budgeting processes. The Haitian National Police, although having made significant progress, particularly with the adoption of a new strategic plan, still needs support to ensure its professionalization and this in order to secure all Haitians in compliance with standards and human rights standards. For its part, Haitian civil society, despite being very dynamic and committed, continues to lack coordinated structure and has difficulty responding to the problem of community violence, particularly against women. UNDP has been a main actor in support to the rule of law sector over the past 15 years. In close coordination with BINUH (Bureau Intégré des Nations Unies en Haiti), UNDP providestechnical and financial assistance to Haiti on justice, police and prison related activities and leads the Rule of Law working group for technical and financial partners as well as the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) Outcome on Governance and Rule of Law. Since 2016, UNDP has implemented a Programme to strengthen the Rule of Law in Haiti with the participation of MINUSTAH/MINUJUSTH/BINUH, UNICEF and UN Women. The Programme was designed to bring coherence to UN assistance and to pool efforts and resourcesin the rule of law area and aims to support the development of institutions that are more accountable and responsive to the needs of all Haitians. This includes, on the one hand, an independent justice system and a more professional police, and on the other hand, an increasingly resilient Haitian civil society through inclusive, transparent and respectful human rights institutions. With the current context of a shift in the configuration of the UN presence in Haiti with the end of MINUJUSTH’s mandate and the start of the new political mission (BINUH), UNDP will be strengthening its role in the Rule of Law sector, implying addressing new challenges, deepening partnerships and mobilizing financial resources.
