Overview :

UNDP Vietnam is seeking for the National Team Member to conduct a review and assessment of legal framework and policies on capacity building for ethnic minority officials in the remote and mountainous areas, with a focus in the legal and justice sectors

(24 working days)

As a country with many ethnic groups, it is important to develop a diverse human resource with different ethnic minorities. Over the past years, Vietnam has made continuous efforts through promulgating and implementing many policies and legal documents to build and improve the capacity for human resource of ethnic minorities, especially the human resource for remote and isolated areas. Vietnam has achieved certain results such as the proportion of civil servants and public employees who are ethnic minorities accounts for about 14.5%, of which 17.2% are leaders and managers at all levels. The XV National Assembly has 89/499 ethnic minority members, accounting for 17.8%.

However, besides the achievements, the quantity and capacity of ethnic minority human resources still has many limitations and inadequacies, which have not met an increasingly complex employment requirement. In particular, the proportion of human resources who are ethnic minorities working in the legal and judicial sectors in recent years is still low; lack of lucrative employment policies to attract and incentivize ethnic minorities working in these fields.

The objectives of this assignment are:

To review and assess Vietnam's legal framework and policies relating to development and effective use of the human resource of ethnic minorities in the remote and mountainous areas, with a focus in the legal and justice sector.
To identify inconsistent and overlapping legal regulations, legal gaps in realizing and protecting the legitimate right to employment of ethnic minorities and supporting services promoting the realization of right to employment of the ethnic minorities, enabling them to equally participate in workforce at all levels and at all sectors, especially in legal and justice sector. cxEjNh4 CFCp6Y
To propose recommendations for improvement of the legal and policy framework to enhance the quality and effective use of the workforce of ethnic minorities in the remote and mountainous areas, with a focus on legal and justice sector. The recommendations should include a list of legal documents to be revised, newly promulgated and proposed timeline.

The selection will be based on a competitive basis and will comply with UNDP procurement regulations.
