| Overview : The Government of The Gambia, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), is in its third year of collaboration with the Rule of Law, Justice, and Security Sector. The UNDP RoL project endeavors to implement a holistic and comprehensive program that addresses both the supply and demand sides of justice delivery. The project seeks to strengthen the rule of law institutions to deliver quality services, empower citizens to exercise their rights and increase access to justice. The UNDP RoL project completed thorough consultations with the Ministry of Justice, the Judiciary, the Gambia Police Force, the Gambian Prisons Service, the National Agency for Legal Aid (NALA), the ADR Secretariat, the Law School of the Gambia, and the Gambia Bar Association to understand better the issues and challenges for strengthening the rule of law and increasing access to justice. Subsequently, the project board has approved the project's 2019, 2020, and 2021 Annual Work Plans. In 2019, the Gambia Police Force (GPF) requested the UNDP RoL Project to re-initiate a Community Policing program. UNDP continues its support to Community Policing amidst the Coronavirus outbreak. In 2020, the project supported the Police in integrating and aligning the Quarterly Crime Statistics Template to the existing digital Case Management System, including operationalizing the system, developing Mobile App, and mapped out all Police posts, districts, and stations across the country. The applications will allow the Police to better plan deployments, training and allocate scarce resources based on up-to-date evidence, data, and statistics. Scope of work In order for the Police to fulfill its mandate to maintain law and public order, the GPF senior leadership and its Planning Unit must have up-to-date information on all of its assets and personnel. Implementing a Global Information System (GIS) would play a critical role in modernizing the GPF and supporting its ability to allocate and monitor limited resources. The availability of such a software would allow the Police to immediately identify not only their posts and stations in real time but also the disaggregated station specific data, such as the number of personnel, gender, vehicles, and points of interest in a particular locality. While internet connections remain challenging, the information can also be made available offline. This technology and software will also help embed the Community Policing Strategy and philosophy that through a phased approach, will eventually become a nation-wide policy and fundamentally transform the GPF as an institution. In April 2020, the UNDP Accelerator Lab provided training for 56 youths on Google+. The UNDP RoL Project provided a grant to the National Youth Council (NYC) to recruit the trained youth who are located throughout the country, to map all existing police posts, stations, district offices, regional offices, and Headquarters down to the Ward level. The trained youth were deployed throughout the country and successfully obtained the GIS points for all GPF post, stations, district, and regional offices. The Consultant will: 1. To develop a private platform to incorporate the mapped Geographical Information System for the Gambia Police Force of every post, station, district office, regional office, and Headquarters to the Ward level. 2. The platform will provide customized information which include number of personnel, vehicles, ICT equipment and points of interest for every post, station, district office, regional office, and Headquarters. 3. The platform needs to be usual friendly, and the developer needs to do further assessment to get more information on the needs. 4. To train 20 GPF personnel from the appropriate departments on the use of the software; and 5. To provide 15 days of on-site mentorship to the 20 trainees to ensure smooth utilization of the platform and provide troubleshooting if needed.
