Introduction
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), as guardian of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), has the mandate to provide support and technical assistance to States parties to effectively implement the Convention. UNODC has established a leading global position in delivering support to countries to prevent and combat corruption. Important elements of this support are the design and implementation of corruption risk mitigation strategies for public sector organizations.
Nigeria is reported to be a source of illicit wildlife and forestry products and a geographic consolidator of trafficking routes across several markets. According to the World Wildlife Crime Report 2020, Nigeria has become the dominant collection and transit point for ivory, rosewood, and pangolin scales shipments over the last four years. Corruption strikes at the core of the fight against wildlife and forestry crime (WLFC) as it undercuts efforts of law enforcement to investigate and prosecute wildlife and forestry crime and threatens effective regulation and crime prevention, enabling criminals to commit, conceal and avoid conviction of their crimes.
The main objective of the assignment is for the Consultant to deliver activities to strengthen the Anti-Corruption and Transparency Units (ACTUs) of the Federal Department of Forestry of the Federal Ministry of Environment of Nigeria (FDF-FMENV), the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), the Nigeria National Park Service (NPS) and the Nigeria Custom Service (NCS) following consultations with relevant stakeholders
