Senior Rule of Law and Program Management Consultant,

Overview:

In 2012, the United Nations Secretary-General established the Global Focal Point for police, justice and corrections areas in the rule of law in post-conflict and other complex settings, as part of an effort to enhance the predictability, coherence, accountability and effectiveness of the United Nations delivery in the field of the rule of law. In 2018, Global Focal Point for police, justice and corrections was renamed as the Global Focal Point for the Rule of Law (GFP).
The Global Focal Point for the Rule of Law (GFP) – co-chaired by UNDP and DPO – contributes to the prevention and peace agenda by strengthening the system-wide provision of rule of law assistance to address violent conflict, protect human rights and restore justice and security for conflict-affected people. The GFP is a coordinating platform that delivers technical support to member states, UN peace operations and UN Country Teams, through planning, programming and joint assessments. Since its establishment in 2012 the Global Focal Point has supported rule of law efforts in 24 fragile or conflict afflicted countries.  
The GFP platform enables partners such as UNODC, UNHCR, OHCHR, EOSG, UNOPS, UN Women and others to jointly pursue shared objectives, in accordance with their specific mandates and capacities.
