- Description
- The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) will be entering into an agreement with USAID to conduct studies and evaluations of overseas activities conducted by two Department of Justice (DOJ) agencies -- the International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) and the Office of Overseas Prosecutorial Development, Assistance and Training (OPDAT) - on behalf of justice reforms supported by USAID. NIJ is seeking qualified consultants and consulting firms to conducts these studies and evaluations. The number and relative frequency of these assignments is unknown at this time. As their names imply, ICITAP provides a range of training and technical assistance on law enforcement topics and OPDAT performs similar services for prosecutors. These activities can be as brief as single training sessions or can involve multi-year, multi-faceted support and assistance. They can take place in any country supported by USAID; i.e., less than fully-developed economies. By way of examples, one recent ICITAP project involved training and technical assistance to support anti-corruption efforts in Tanzania. ICITAP staff and consultants provided training of Tanzanian instructors, coursework on financial fraud, case management, and questioned documents. They also helped the Tanzanian Police Force establish case tracking and management systems, and internal affairs divisions to investigate internal bribery and other forms of corruption. This project took more than two years. Similarly, OPDAT worked with Ukrainian officials on other anti-corruption activities. They worked within multiple Ukrainian governmental ministries to institute judicial and legislative reforms, and best practices in the transparency of government transactions. They also helped the government establish a system for monitoring and enforcement of ethical standards, the streamlining and enforcing of business regulations, and procedures to combat corruption in higher education. This was also a multi-year program. USAID is asking NIJ to conduct reviews and assessments of programs like these to help officials answer questions such as: • How well did the project achieve its stated objectives? • Were training and technical assistance activities conducted as planned? • What mid-course changes had to be made and why? • In what ways are the aided governments improved? By what evidence? • Were lessons learned that could improve the conduct of future USAID activities? OJP is requesting statements of qualification from interested organizations. Qualifications should include: • Evidence of performance in similar consulting assignments, especially related to, but not exclusively, criminal justice; • Evidence of performance off work in developing nations; and • Demonstrated ability to conduct work in languages other than English. INSTRUCTION FOR RFI SUBMISSION: After review of the attached documentation, interested parties may submit a response in an electronic format only. Electronic files should be in Microsoft Office Word 2003 or PDF format. All information should be UNCLASSIFIED material only.
