Job Posting: Research Officer, Fight for Rights Ukraine
INTRODUCTION
Fight for Rights (FFR) Ukraine is leading the development of a national strategy to ensure that all persons with disabilities are valued in society, have choices, and can live decent and independent lives in the community. The focus of this strategy is on creating the conditions for deinstitutionalization and full inclusion in the community of all persons with disabilities.
FFR is recruiting a research officer to undertake and coordinate research on one of its priority pillars for this strategy: Ensuring the right to legal capacity on an equal basis, including the abolition of guardianship and the full adoption of a supported decision-making approach.
This document provides background, terms of reference, job description, and application instructions for those interested in applying for this position. The researcher can work remotely and does not need to be based in Ukraine.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT
FFR’s deinstitutionalization and full inclusion strategy rests of four main pillars and pre-requisites:
The strategy is guided by the norms and rights recognized in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The first three pillars are priorities for research and development over the coming 1.5 years. Stage 1 of this research focuses on pillar 1: Ensuring the right to legal capacity on an equal basis.
FFR is collaborating with League of the Strong, other NGOs, and an international network of advisors and supporters in developing the strategy, and its guiding ‘theory of change.’ Initial work is completed on stakeholder mapping, which FFR is considering building on. Data has been collected on types of institutions for people with disabilities, and numbers of residents. Projects are underway to assess individual needs of residents, and piloting instruments for this purpose. Preliminary research has been undertaken on needs for and models of supported independent living. Further research is needed on implementing these models in the Ukraine context, costing of institutional vs. community care, and financial modelling for the transition to community supports, and sustaining a community support system.
Cross-cutting these initiatives is the need to examine current legal and policy regimes regulating the four pillars/pre-requisites against a set of human rights and inclusivity indicators, and to consider needed law/policy changes and best practices for closing the gaps.
This concept note outlines the main tasks for the policy research agenda for the first pillar – on ensuring the right to legal capacity.
