ABOUT THE ROLE
The Transparency International Secretariat is currently seeking a Global Coordinator – Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (m/f/d) for coordinating and sustaining our global and multi-country initiatives involving Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (ALACs) and supporting chapters’ national ALAC initiatives.
For over 20 years, Transparency International’s Advocacy and Legal Advice Centres (ALACs) have been encouraging individuals, communities and organisations to report corruption they have witnessed or experienced and assisting them to seek redress and justice. The advice provided by ALACs is free, confidential and open to all. It enables people to know their rights, empowers them to speak up and assert their rights, and is also helping address issues of impunity through case resolution and related advocacy.
There are nearly 90 ALACs in over 60 countries which, since 2003, have been contacted by over 350,000 people and worked on more than 85,000 corruption-related cases. The diversity of cases and people who use the centres – from the most vulnerable and marginalized to entrepreneurs and well-positioned whistleblowers – demonstrates the pervasive nature of corruption, and also that people will get involved in the fight against corruption when they are provided with a safe, robust mechanism to do so.
TI-Secretariat’s ALAC team leads and coordinates global and multi-country ALAC initiatives, develops knowledge products for targeted areas of ALAC work, facilitates a global community of practice for ALAC teams to participate in knowledge exchanges and trainings, connects ALAC cases with regional and global advocacy initiatives, and supports ALACs to use safe online digital platform for receiving and recording corruption complaints and using casework for advocacy.
This role involves continuing implementation of existing initiatives led by TI-S’s ALAC team, and driving forward implementation of the outcomes of a Strategic Review of ALACs across the TI Movement, which will be finalised in July 2024, with fundraising as a major priority.
