Background
In September 2010, Liberia was formally placed on the Agenda of the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission based on a request from the Government of Liberia (GoL) in May 2010 to the UN Secretary General. In its letter of request, the GoL identified three areas: justice, security, and reconciliation as key priorities for peacebuilding and sustainable development. In particular, the GoL stressed the dire need for provision of justice and security at a more decentralized level and to foster reconciliation at the sub-national levels. In partnership with the United Nations, a three-year Liberia Peacebuilding Programme (LPP) has been developed to address the GoL priorities. The outcome areas covered by the programme include:
Strengthening the rule of law (Enhanced access to justice and community security through five regional hubs).
Supporting security sector reform (Functions of Justice and Security institutions supported previously by UNMIL interventions fully maintained).
Promoting National Reconciliation (Conflict sensitive regions are capacitated to address potential risks of relapse into violence and support peaceful conflict resolutions).
In order to ensure the successful implementation of the GoL priorities and the LPP in general and various activities of the Justice and Security components, a Justice and Security Programme Manager is being sought. The Programme Manager when recruited will be responsible to the Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) or her designee. The Justice and Security Programme Manager will liaise and work with the Joint Steering Committee (JSC) Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Justice and Security related to the LPP to prepare and submit monthly, quarterly, and annual reports to the Minister of Justice and SRSG.

Further, the Programme Manager will liaise with the Office of the Chief Justice or his designee on judiciary matters related to the Justice and Security component of the LPP.

Duties and Responsibilities

In partnership with the United Nations, a three-year Liberia Peacebuilding Programme (LPP) has been developed to address the GoL priorities. The outcome areas covered by the programme include:
Strengthening the rule of law (Enhanced access to justice and community security through five regional hubs).
Supporting security sector reform (Functions of Justice and Security institutions supported previously by UNMIL interventions fully maintained).
Promoting National Reconciliation (Conflict sensitive regions are capacitated to address potential risks of relapse into violence and support peaceful conflict resolutions).
In order to ensure the successful implementation of the GoL priorities and the LPP in general and various activities of the Justice and Security components, a Justice and Security Programme Manager is being sought. The Programme Manager when recruited will be responsible to the Special Representative of the Secretary General (SRSG) or her designee. The Justice and Security Programme Manager will liaise and work with the Joint Steering Committee (JSC) Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on Justice and Security related to the LPP to prepare and submit monthly, quarterly, and annual reports to the Minister of Justice and SRSG. Copies of these reports will also be submitted to the JSC through the Peacebuilding Office (PBO.) Further, the Programme Manager will liaise with the Office of the Chief Justice or his designee on judiciary matters related to the Justice and Security component of the LPP. The Justice and Security Programme Manager will also support the implementation of programme activities of the LPP, as set out in the costed action plan, joint programmes and annual work plans as may be developed. S/he will have supervisory responsibilities over each of the Regional Hub Managers.
The Justice and Security Programme Manager will also work closely with the PBO and project teams (including UN Recipient agencies and Government institutions and implementing partners) in all aspects of the programme and will help support and conduct monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the LPP and assist in developing progress reports for the JSC, the MDTF, PBSO and the PBC.
Duties and Responsibilities
In all key functions, the International Programme Manager collaborates closely with a National Programme Manager. For the benefit of sustainability, the two posts mirror each other during the first 12 months, with a view to the National Programme Manager taking on the full responsibility once the international counterpart completes his/her assignment.
