Job Title: National Legal Specialist
Tasks/Responsibilities
The national legal consultant will be responsible for the following tasks:
- Develop a work plan to be presented within the first 15 days of the consultancy, including the description of the products, the methodology and the timeline.
- Develop a legal analysis, based on the outline prepared by FAO, focusing on forestry-related legislation, taking into consideration regional and international instruments, highlighting existing opportunities, gaps, and inconsistencies among and within forest-related sectors, that affect the sustainable management of forests, specifically focusing on 1) legal gaps that contribute to issues affecting transboundary forest ecosystems, and 2) legal gaps that constrain the full engagement of local communities (including vulnerable groups, women, IPs and youth) in sustainable forest management. A desk review of relevant statutory instruments (including laws, acts, regulations, decrees, resolutions and customary instruments/practices), as well as interviews with key stakeholders from governmental non-governmental entities, will be the basis to develop the legal analysis.
- Based on the legal gap analysis, the consultant will include a set of recommendations to promote legal reforms or implement the forest legal framework, including institutional and multilateral arrangements needed to address transboundary forest issues and to improve sustainable management of community forestry. The analysis should include a review of benefit-sharing schemes, legal (vs illegal) trade of timber and non-timber forest products among countries, forest management planning tools, land and forests tenure security, as well as co-management schemes of protected areas. A gender lens will be applied to the analysis and recommendations.
- Organize a workshop (or virtual meeting) in close collaboration and under the guidance of the national authorities to share and validate the findings and recommendations of the legal gap analysis, inviting relevant national and sub-regional relevant stakeholders, including the focal points, the government interlocutors and the relevant local institutions (public, private, IGOs, NGOs, community and decentralized organizations) implicated in the planning and management of forests, natural resources and the environment.
- The FAO country office and HQs/sub-regional team will provide logistical and technical support as needed. Relevant stakeholders will be invited to attend the workshop.
