The Project supports the creation of an efficient law-enforcement system respectful of human rights through the provision of necessary support to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Police of Ukraine, the State Bureau of Investigations, the Office of Prosecutor General (OPG), Qualification and Disciplinary Commission of Prosecutors.

The current assignment relates to the scope of the Project’s support measures for the OPG.

In order to facilitate the implementation of HR-related improvements PRAVO Police, upon the request of the OPG, will recruit a Consultant to deliver advisory support within the scope outlined below.

The Consultant will work under the overall supervision of the Programme Manager, while agreeing and closely coordinating assignments with the authorized representatives of the OPG. She/he will have access to the facilities of the OPG.

The Consultant will ensure that the services delivered to the OPG are in line with relevant national policies and standards within Ukraine and best EU and international practices.

The Consultant’s areas of support can be divided into two major sections:

1) Specialist support on the creation and implementation of the comprehensive eHR solution inclusive of e-Learning system and modules which automate other elements of HR (e.g., performance evaluation, workload management) for the OPG:

For this the Consultant will be expected to:
