TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT ADVISER

• Type: Contract
• Location: East Asia & the Pacific
• Organisation: PJDP
  The Pacific Judicial Development Program (PJDP) is intended to strengthen governance and the rule of law in 15 participating Pacific Island Countries
• Closing Date: 16-May-2008
• Description:
  PURPOSE To develop sustainable regional technical capacity able to develop and deliver local professional development programmes OBJECTIVES 1. Ongoing basic training needs of judicial and court officers are addressed in all PIC. 2. Support the development of a competent and appropriately sized training delivery capacity in each PIC 3. Build leadership capacity of judicial officers and court officers in all PICs BACKGROUND Recognising that PJDP will end in 2011 and that the capacity of educators across the region continues to grow, the focus of the component 4 during 2008-09 will be to strengthen the capacity of Pacific educators by convening a Regional Training Team (RTT) of existing educators who will design and deliver training across the region. This will enable the Programme, while supporting and monitoring the RTT, to work with key stakeholders to identify the skills and competencies required of various judicial and court officers in order to develop a staged approach to building capacity from a zero base. Training packages will then be developed to respond to the gap between actual and desired skills and competencies as identified by the Training and Development Adviser. This Annual Plan begins the shift from training to institutional development to ensure that learning is further integrated into the core work of the courts and comprises more than substantive law and procedure training to include skills and competencies of leaders and managers. Given the reduction in actual training delivery, and the increase in needs analysis, mentoring and development of training capacity under the 2008-09 AP, the Senior Faculty Member position has been re-orientated to a Training and Development Adviser. DURATION 12 months from 1 July 2008
