Through the EU funded “Accountable Institutions and Human Rights Protection in Armenia” Project, UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA and OSCE support the Government of Armenia (GoA) efforts towards inclusive, accountable and effective service delivery in the field of rule of law, security, human rights and Constitutional reform. The Project aims to strengthen rights-based approach in public service in line with the EU-GoA Financing Agreement “Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) Reform Facility'. This engagement contributes to the implementation of CEPA provisions and implementation of the roadmap, adopted by the GoA in the areas of rule of law and human rights.
The focus is placed on good governance, non-discrimination, gender equality, rights of persons belonging to minorities, justice and security reform. The Project equally contributes to implementation of the Agenda 2030, focusing on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 (peace and strong institutions), SDG 10 (reduced inequalities) and SDG 5 (gender equality). The Project objectives are implemented through the following three components: Human Rights, Police Reform and Constitutional Reform. Within the Police reform component, the Project, in close cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and the Police, supports implementation of the ongoing Police reform, with an emphasis on strengthening the educational system and capacity building.
The institutional capacity building for the Police Educational Complex (PEC), focusing on Patrol and Community Police training, is a priority of the Project. The Project further strengthens the analytical capacities of the Operations Management Centre and relevant capacities of the staff. The Project enhances the systems and instruments for improved accountability, transparency and integrity of the Police. Further, the Project improves the institutional mechanisms and the Police staff capacities to face the crisis situations. The Project aims to enhance the institutional resilience of the Police and to improve the provision of citizen-oriented services. It further promotes gender equality through increased engagement of women in the Police.
Digital transformation is essential for the police force to stay relevant, effective and responsive in its approach to protecting and serving the public. It has the potential to touch every part of the policing process, changing the way police work, harness data, exploit available technologies, collaborate with partner organizations and organize themselves. Each of these issues has wide reaching consequences, both for the industry as a whole and for individual officers. A responsible transformation roadmap must therefore focus on the capabilities, processes and approaches that can maximize efficiency and learning across the whole policing system while meeting the specific needs of individual contexts.
To this end, the Project is looking for an expert to develop the RA Police digital transformation strategic note and strategic roadmap that will later save as basis for the automation and digitalization of services within the RA Police.
This assignment entails the development of the RA Police digital transformation strategic note and a strategic roadmap under the overall guidance of the Specialist/Task Lead on Police, Security and Public Administration and the direct supervision of Armenia National SDG Innovation Lab Lead, Public Policy Innovation Projects Lead and the Project Police Expert.
