Chemonics seeks a short-term constitutional support advisor for the ongoing USAID/OTI-funded Libya Transition Initiative (LTI). The three-year, five-month program, begun in September 2011, supports Libyan efforts to build an inclusive and peaceful democratic future that reflects the will and needs of the Libyan people. The short-term constitutional support advisor will support the project's engagement with the new Libyan Constitution. Libya's Constitution Drafting Assembly, which met in the eastern city of Bayda on April 21, 2014, has been legally mandated and popularly elected to draft a new constitution in four months. In order to support the constitution drafting process, LTI is seeking an advisor for a period of three to six months to assist with identifying, developing and supporting priority interventions.

Given the dynamic nature of the constitution drafting process, the scope of work and individual tasks will remain flexible to allow the program to plug into priority areas as the situation evolves. It is expected that this assignment will be for three months, with a possible extension based on progress on the process and programmatic needs. This assignment will require extensive travel throughout Libya, including to Bayda, LTI's regional offices, and other locations as needed to work directly with civil society partners. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for making a difference in the lives of people around the world.

Illustrative deliverables are expected to include:

Develop weekly reports that review recent events, analyze key trends, summarize meetings, and provide recommendations on potential programmatic responses as neededDraft strategy on LTI engagement in the constitution drafting processConduct trainings and develop outreach materials as necessary with government stakeholders and/or civil society organization representativesIdentify, design, and develop at least five activities to support civil society engagement in the constitution drafting process
