Background
The Transitional Federal Charter of the Somali Republic (2004) came out of the IGAD sponsored 2002-2004 peace negotiations facilitated by Kenya. A new Federal Constitution was to be drafted and adopted by popular referendum: the final year of the five year transitional period. However, the volatile security and political environment in South Central Somalia for much of 2006 to 2008 was not conducive to the progress of the constitution making process. In light of this, the Djibouti Peace Agreement of November 2008 between the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the Alliance for the Reliberation of Somalia (ARS) extended the transitional period and paved the way for a joint constitution commission to both facilitate and complete the constitution process within the new transitional period.

In close collaboration with a consortium of international partners, UNDP is supporting the constitution process through the Somalia Constitution-Making Support Project. This support includes the provision of financial and technical support on the constitution-building process to various Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) and civil society groups.

Within this context, UNDP wishes to recruit a Project Management Consultant to provide technical support to the UNDP Somalia Constitution-Making Support Project and the Independent Federal Constitution Commission (IFCC) on the finalization of the Somali constitution process as well as technical support to key political and transitional processes related to the Somali constitution and transitional process
