The International Development Law Organization (IDLO) is currentl! y implementing a multi-project

rule of law development program in South Sudan, with an emphasis on legal education and

training, judicial capacity building, and constitutional and legislative reform. Among IDLO’s

portfolio is a three-year European Union-funded project to launch the South Sudan Legal Training

Institute (LTI). This Project, “The Legal Training Institute: Foundations for the Future”, builds on

more than three years of IDLO support to the Government of South Sudan to establish the LTI.

The National Legislative Assembly formally established the LTI in 2012 through the Legal Training

Institute Act, 2012. The LTI is expected to provide both long-term induction training for aspiring

lawyers and others working in South Sudan’s legal and justice sectors, as well as short-term

continuing education and certificate courses. In particular, the LTI is expected to offer initial ! training,

to prepare law graduates to enter law pract! ice, and continuing legal education or continuing

professional development, meant to refresh, update, or reorient the knowledge and skills of

practicing prosecutors, lawyers, public servants, law enforcement, support staff, paralegals, and

others.

Through this project, IDLO will assist the Ministry of Justice and the LTI Management Board to

constitute, launch, and operationalize the LTI over the next three years, including establishing the

institutional structures of the Institute as well as commencing training under the auspices of the

LTI.

THE CONSULTANCY

As information and communications technology (ICT) plays an increasingly important role in the

South Sudanese justice sector, the LTI needs to enhance its capacity in this area to ensure efficiency

in everyday work and quality throughout its training programs. The LTI is expected to use

information and communicatio! ns technology in its daily operations, as well as incorporate ICT into

its training program through the use of online, electronic, and multi-media resources.

To support this process, IDLO is recruiting a short-term ICT Expert to develop and assist the LTI to

implement an ICT policy that accommodates both the operational needs of the Institute and the

LTI’s goal of integrating ICT into its training program, making it a main tool of instruction, learning

and research. In particular, the ICT Specialist will:

• Assess the LTI’s current capacity and available resources;
• Assist the LTI in designing an ICT system that takes into consideration the Institute’s

academic, administrative, support, and library needs, and can function within current

constraints while meeting these demands;

• Develop systems for financial and library-related information, human resources
management and academic records, and assist the LTI to identify ap! propriate software for

human resources and financial management, library records, and academic records, or

support the development of custom software for the LTI, based on the Institute’s identified

needs;


• Assist the LTI to develop and implement an ICT policy for all electronic systems needed;
and


• Design and, if possible, deliver training for LTI staff on the use of computers, information
systems, software, and other ICT equipment necessary to perform their jobs, including

specialized training for ICT personnel and basic training for all other management and

support staff.

Key Deliverables


• An ICT plan and policy for the Legal Training Institute;
• Systems for electronic financial and human resources management, library information,
and academic records for the LTI; and


• An ICT training program, and materials f! or training LTI personnel on the use of computers,
information systems, software, and other ICT equipment in their job functions.

This Consultancy is for a period of six weeks, with a start date to be determined.

• University degree in ICT technologies or equivalent (Master’s degree preferred);
• A minimum of 8 years’ experience in the ICT field, with previous experience in an academic
