Background

UNDP’s Rule of Law Programme in Pakistan is working to strengthen the rule of law and to ensure equal access to justice and security services, particularly for women and marginalized groups across Pakistan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) including the merged districts (MDs), Balochistan, and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). In close collaboration with a range of government, rule of law and justice sector institutions, the overall Programme aims to enhance and sustain peace and stability for the longer-term in Pakistan.

The Programme activities and interventions therefore directly correspond with the government of Pakistan’s strategies and commitments to rule of law and justice reforms, as well as improving the efficiency and effectiveness of institutions to deliver accountable and affordable security and justice services to the public.

The Rule of Law Programme implementation is guided by the following four strategic objectives:

• Policy, legal and regulatory frameworks strengthened to warrant people‑centered, equitable, timely, affordable justice and security delivery to all people with an emphasis on women, marginalized and vulnerable groups, and digital technologies.
• Capacity of justice and security stakeholders (duty bearers) enhanced to deliver inclusive, timely, and accessible services to all people with an emphasis on women and digital technologies.
• Capacity of women, and the most vulnerable and marginalized (rights holders) strengthened to access referral pathways to justice and security.
• Justice and security sector institutional facilities enhanced to deliver inclusive, timely, and accessible justice and security services, through women friendly and gender-responsive infrastructure development support with an emphasis on flood resilience and green energy.

Against this backdrop, UNDP actions and interventions are aimed at restoring public confidence and service delivery in the formal justice and rule of law sectors through a range of initiatives i.e. policy development and reform, fostering justice and security sector governance, as well as oversight and accountability at an institutional level with emphasis on inclusive and gender‑responsive programming. The overall engagement strategy, therefore, involves both federal and local levels. The Programme is implemented in partnership with the Judiciary, Police, Prosecution, Prisons, Probation and Reclamation, Bar Associations, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the academia both at federal and provincial levels.

The Project Outreach and Events Analyst will provide specialized support for programme outreach, visibility, stakeholder engagement, events, documentation and knowledge management. The Analyst will support coherent and inclusive engagement with government counterparts, justice and security institutions, civil society, legal professionals, academia, media, communities and other relevant stakeholders, and will help communicate programme objectives, activities, achievements and results to diverse audiences.

The Analyst will support the planning and coordination of consultations, policy dialogues, conferences, launches, workshops, roundtables, knowledge‑sharing activities and other programme events; contribute to the development and quality assurance of outreach and visibility products; and support systematic documentation of programme achievements, lessons learned and good practices. S/he will promote gender‑responsive, inclusive and ethical communication and outreach approaches, with particular consideration for women and vulnerable populations.

The Rule of Law Programme is placed within the Democratic Governance Unit of the UNDP Country Office in Pakistan, and the Analyst will work under the supervision of the Team Lead - Programme Specialist and coordinate with designated other team members and relevant Country Office colleagues.

Scope of Work

The Outreach and Events Analyst will report directly to the Team Lead - Programme Specialist. The Analyst will provide specialized support and coordination for programme outreach, visibility, stakeholder engagement, events, documentation and knowledge‑management activities under the Rule of Law Programme.

The Analyst will support the planning, implementation and quality assurance of outreach and engagement initiatives aimed at strengthening awareness, participation, institutional ownership and understanding of programme‑supported reforms and services. S/he will coordinate substantive event planning, support the preparation of audience appropriate communication and visibility products, and contribute to the systematic documentation and dissemination of programme results, lessons learned and good practices.

UNDP adopts a portfolio approach to accommodate changing business needs and leverage linkages across interventions to achieve its strategic goals. Therefore, UNDP personnel are expected to work across units, functions, teams and projects in multidisciplinary teams to enhance and enable horizontal collaboration.
