Scope of Work The consultant will be responsible for preparing, delivering, and reporting on a four-day Law Enforcement Agencies–Media-CSOs Dialogue Forum. The scope includes developing a user-friendly training and facilitation manual that combine both legal knowledge and participatory methods, with a particular focus on enhancing understanding of Law Enforcement Agencies-Media-CSOs on issues of media related laws, joint advocacy for action, and the application of human rights–based approaches in law enforcement on media freedom practices.
