Monitoring and Evaluation Officer – Tunisia-Tunisia-International IDEA عودة إلى الفرص

International IDEA is collaborating with Action Appointments for this recruitment process. Applications should be sent directly to tracy@actionappointments.co.za

Context:

The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (‘International IDEA’) and the European Union have entered into an agreement to implement a project to support Libya’s House of Representatives (‘HoR’). The proposed Action seeks to support the HoR’s Secretariat General (the ‘Diwan’) through the following outputs:

• Enhanced Research Capacity of the Diwan;
• Enhanced Capacity of the Diwan’s organization, management and administration functions;
• Enhanced capacity of Diwan staff to support the HoR’s legislative functions;
• Enhanced capacity of Diwan staff to support the HoR’s oversight functions;
• Enhanced capacity of Diwan staff to support the HoR’s representation and citizen engagement functions;
• Advisory services provided on issues of Libyan and international law; and
• Enhanced Diwan collaboration with other parliaments for the purposes of capacity development and knowledge-sharing.

Through these outputs, the aim is for the Diwan to become better equipped to help strengthen the effectiveness of the HoR. That enhanced capacity will in turn help (i) improve the accountability of democratic institutions in Libya such as the HoR, as well as (ii) allow the HoR to exercise its legislative, oversight, and representation functions such that it can become transparent, inclusive, responsive, and accountable to Libyan citizens. The achievement of these objectives will contribute to the Action’s overall goal: to foster a functioning, rights-based, participatory and representative democracy in Libya.
