- BACKGROUND The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is implementing the Regional Programme for Afghanistan and Neighboring Countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan). The aim of the Regional Programme is to enhance counter-narcotics capacities across the region through better coordination and facilitation. Sub-Programme 3 of the regional programme “prevention and treatment of drug dependence among vulnerable groups” is designed to deliver scientific evidence-based practice in drug prevention, treatment and rehabilitation as well as in related HIV/AIDS services. UNODC, COPAK, requires the services of an international consultant for the development of toolkit for law enforcement officials, of the regional countries, engaging with drug users. The international consultant will be reporting to Drugs and HIV Advisor, UNODC, COPAK, throughout the development of toolkit including during any consultation with national governments counterparts of the region or other stake holders.
- MAIN OBJECTIVES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ANALYTICAL WORK. The objective of the consultancy is to develop a toolkit/package for law enforcement agencies engaging with drug users and vulnerable populations. The target audience for the toolkit includes junior / mid rank law enforcement officials and senior law enforcement officials (the package to have variable tools applicable to different ranks). The materials contained in the toolkit must be pertinent to the day to day work of law enforcement agencies and officials that may be required to engage with drug users, but that lack necessary skills and understanding. The toolkit will include: a generic short training / awareness raising course consisting of course manual, notes, and ppts; a quick generic reference guide applicable to junior / mid rank law enforcement officials; and a quick reference guide applicable to for senior law enforcement officials. All materials must be user friendly and non-technical in nature. Following development of the tool kit the consultant will undertake a first training of trainers course in Pakistan with a Pakistani trainer to show law enforcement officials hot to utilize the course materials and quick reference guides.
