National Consultant (Asset Management Expert)

1. Background of the assignment: Within the framework of the UNODC Regional Programme for Eastern Africa (2016-2025) and its respective mandates, UNODC, through its Regional Office for Eastern Africa (ROEA), aims, among other objectives, to promote and support effective responses by Member States in Eastern Africa to transnational organized crime and illicit trafficking at the legal, technical, and policy levels. UNODC does so primarily through its regional Transnational Organized Crime, Illicit Trafficking and Terrorism Programmes (TOC/CT Programmes). Accordingly, the UNODC ROEA Transnational Organized Crime, Illicit Trafficking and Terrorism Programmes (TOC/CT Programmes) is pivotal to UNODC’s mandate, assisting Member States in preventing, suppressing, and prosecuting transnational organized crime and terrorism-related offenses in Eastern Africa. In turn, the program is implemented through various outputs and activities, including sub-regional assessment on challenges, opportunities, and training needs, technical and legal advice, capacity building through training activities, procurement, and facilitation of national coordination and international cooperation. In the context of the TOC/TC Programmes, UNODC ROEA is implementing a project on “Supporting the modernization and professionalization of the Kenya National Police Service (NPS) College Main Campus in Kiganjo, Kenya” funded by the United States of America. The project supports the overall updating and refurbishment of the NPS College Main Campus in Kiganjo. As part of this process, UNODC will support professional systems and processes to manage assets.
