CONSULTANT – COMMUNITY-BASED MONITORING
The American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) is seeking a local or international consultant to develop a training of trainers course and a guidance manual that can be used in Southeast Asia for community-based monitoring for human rights impacted by climate change. Community-based monitoring is defined by Global Fund as “Mechanisms that service users or local communities use to gather, analyze and use information on an ongoing basis to improve access, quality and the impact of services, and to hold service providers and decision makers to account.” The course curriculum will be used by individual trainers across the Philippines, Indonesia, and other countries to train individuals to gather information and engage in public oversight to push for greater governmental accountability. The manual will serve as a companion resource, available to the “ordinary citizen” monitors as they engage in the community-based monitoring activities. The consultant should ideally have previous experience in community-based monitoring, particularly with regards to climate change. The position is initially expected to include approximately 15 working days spread out over approximately 2 months, with the possibility of extension.
