Posted by: Vernice Guthrie <abaafrica@abanet.org>
Organization name: American Bar Association Africa Law Initiative (ABA-Africa)
Place of assignment: Uganda
Job description: The American Bar Association’s Africa Law Initiative (ABA-Africa) is currently seeking an attorney/advisor to be placed in Uganda to implement a two year anti-trafficking program to support enforcement, training, legal education, and resource development in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
The senior attorney sought will work at both the national and the regional levels in these three countries to lay the foundation for connecting the importance of the rule of law and enforcement of laws to the HIV/AIDS movement and agenda. This connection, in turn, will increase the demand for effective enforcement of pre-existing law that can stem trafficking in humans. At the same time the connection will create a push for national and regional harmonization and integration of anti-trafficking laws.
The ideal candidate possesses relevant regional, and subject area experience, to support regional and national working groups on anti-trafficking in Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. This Senior Attorney and support staff would also facilitate training of police and immigration officials; magistrates and judges; prosecutors, including police prosecutors; NGOs and trade union officials to develop national and regional capacity to combat trafficking.
Other program activities include supporting three attorney positions within the HIV/AIDS regional network to promote a sub-group focus on trafficking, raising awareness and commitment of regional and national stakeholders, developing a cadre of national and regional trainers, training resources and materials, including national trainings in each country, national and regional educational campaigns, advocacy, review and analysis of law and legislation pertinent to anti-trafficking, and watchdog activities.
This project is intended to build on the pre-existing HIV/AIDS networks as well as ABA national and regional contacts developed during various ABA programs, including the recently completed Department of State funded East Africa Children’s Rights Program.
Qualifications and skills required: Specific qualifications include:
§ 5-6 years minimum experience in the rule of law in developing countries, program implementation, and/or training;
§ prosecutorial experience and/or experience in enforcing the rights of women and children;
§ previous experience in addressing the relevant legal challenges in stemming trafficking in persons;
