  • Facilitating capacity building in areas requested by the Ministry and where you observe clear gaps: from providing training or tools on how to review complex commercial contracts to side-by-side learning achieved through team work (e.g. working with colleagues to utilise track changes function in Word or refining drafting and formatting skills);
  • Assisting with Environmental Impact Assessments, particularly relating to disputes and appeals;
  • Providing support to Ministerial teams that are negotiating and implementing agreements, including: a) regional harmonisation agreements, laws, and policies, b) international environmental agreements (e.g. climate change and biodiversity), c) investment agreements with the private sector, d) bilateral agreements with other governments;
  • Acting as a liaison between the Ministry and other government departments and line ministries;
  • Assisting on advocacy and information dissemination on legal aspects pertaining to line ministry activities;
  • Reviewing existing policies and proposed legal instruments or tools to support the Ministry in their implementation;
  • Providing ad hoc legal advice to the Minister, PS and directors in response to both internal and external requests;
  • Providing technical drafting input to a range of legislative instruments including laws, regulations, and ministerial orders and well as contracts and memorandums of understanding;
  • Undertaking sector-specific legal research and analysis, often of a comparative nature, to inform policy development and or legislative drafting (e.g. regarding pharmaceutical sector reform, or regulation of private schools).

Remuneration & Accountabilities

  • In all cases, the Fellow will be accountable to their host Government ministry and their line manager in Government. In all cases Fellows will be expected to contribute to the Fellowship’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning framework through regular reporting procedures.
  • Inclusive of contributions from host Ministries, Fellows will receive a total salary of £26,000 a year, plus a housing allowance and, airfare to and from the posting.

  • Depending on the specific post for which you are applying, a law degree, an LLM, a Masters in Law, a Masters in Public Policy, or a related field will be required;
