Assignment

Performance management is one of the critical areas in any successful organization. This applies equally to the criminal justice system.

It is about assessing that the right actions are taken at the right time to improve the performance of the actors.

The Consultant must:

1. Meet with key actors in specific institutions in the Criminal Justice Systems and Women’s Rights & Criminal Justice actors to understand the expectations from the performance of the police
2. Create a Performance Management Framework with both quantitative and qualitative indicators for GBV.
3. Present the Performance Management Framework to key stakeholders for sharing and approval.
