The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is the global leader in the fight against drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism with widely recognized expertise and specialization on issues pertaining to international cooperation in criminal matters. Established in 1997 through a merger between the United Nations Drug Control Programme and the Centre for International Crime Prevention, UNODC operates in all regions of the world through an extensive network of field offices. The work of UNODC is guided by a broad range of international legally binding instruments and a set of United Nations standards and norms on crime prevention and criminal justice. UNODC, as guardian of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) and secretariat to the Conference of the States Parties to the Convention, has the mandate to provide support and technical assistance to States parties to effectively implement the Convention. The backbone for UNODC anti-corruption work is the normative framework provided by UNCAC. UNODC possesses extensive experience and in-depth substantive expertise, delivering and adapting technical assistance to Member States upon request and working with a variety of national, regional and international stakeholders. Moreover, UNODC possesses substantial experience in developing technical tools, and disseminating and facilitating exchange of good practices in the fight against corruption. The Corruption and Financial Crime Branch (CFB) of UNODC has merged two global programmes, GLOZ99 and GLOU40, with the objective of building a harmonized and coherent approach to planning, monitoring, and reporting across all related grants and initiatives. At the same time, CFB is also required to use a new performance management and reporting platform, DevResults, for select donor-funded projects. Identifying, demonstrating and showcasing results is a critical component of CFB’s work and fundamental to CFB’s technical assistance delivery, at a time when requests and mandates are increasing in a competitive resource environment. As part of this work, CFB is also seeking to finalize an analysis of UNCAC provisions with human rights obligations. Under the overall supervision of the OIC of FSS/CFB/DTA and the direct guidance of the designated Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Officer leading the coordination with the INL, and in coordination with other CFB officers and consultants as necessary, the consultant will perform the following substantive tasks: A. Manage and implement the onboarding process and regular quarterly and outcome reporting requirements for all GLOZ99 and GLOU40 INL grants into DevResults; B. Support and review grant management across CFB to ensure a consistent approach to planning, monitoring and reporting; C. Support and contribute to the finalization of CFB’s new merged global programme; D. Review and support the finalization of CFB’s thematic brief analysing UNCAC provisions with human rights obligations.
