Transparency International (TI) is the world’s leading independent anti-corruption organisation. We work globally towards ensuring a world where people’s lives, government, business and society are free from corruption. A world where the health of our institutions is enhanced so they can better support the people they are intended for; a world where we can trust the integrity of those in authority and in business, and a world where there is no impunity for the corrupt.
Transparency International Defence & Security (TI-DS) is one of TI’s global programmes and is committed to tackling corruption in the global defence and security sector. Hosted by Transparency International’s UK chapter, the programme works with defence institutions, governments, the defence industry, civil society and international organisations worldwide to strengthen transparency, accountability and oversight in a traditionally opaque and secretive sector.
TI-DS is looking for an advocacy expert to provide strategic guidance to team members, input on research and policy initiatives, and develop key advocacy materials under our current projects.
The expert will deliver a number of discrete and time-limited advocacy and policy pieces of work for our Transparency International Defence and Security Programme. Key tasks include but are not limited to:
• Develop policy briefs including on integrating anti-corruption in peacebuilding alongside recommendations
• Write a short explainer brief on how UN can better incorporate anti-corruption and governance in its peacebuilding efforts through the 2025 Peacebuilding Architecture Review
• Organise deep dive sessions with representatives of multilateral organisations based on our Fragile and Conflict Affected States Briefs
• Review and provide advocacy recommendations in upcoming research products (e.g. corruption as a threat to peace and security, access to information, arms trade decision making, arms diversion and gender and conflict)
• Develop/implement engagement plans and advocacy strategies to successfully launch and target various upcoming publications
• Provide inputs to support our advocacy campaigns on corruption as a threat to peace and security and access to information
• Engage with the UN in the Peace Building Architecture Review and Security Sector Reform efforts
The ideal candidate will have significant advocacy and policy experience. Ideally the candidate will also have previous experience/knowledge within the defence, security and anti-corruption or governance field. Experience in peacebuilding and/or conflict prevention is highly desired as is engagement with multi-lateral organisations.
This is a consultancy role starting from end of September 2024 to end of January 2025 for up to 3-4 days a week.
Please submit your expression of interest to [email protected]. Your submission should include:
• Cover letter outlining your background and expertise.
• Your CV
• Financial proposal outlining your daily fee
• Two referees, ideally from organisations you have recently worked with.
This is a rolling deadline with the final deadline for submission being midnight on Monday 19th August 2024. We will review submissions on an ongoing basis and hope to meet with those shortlisted in the week commencing 26th August.
