Overview : Following the National Multi-Stakeholder National Dialogue Plenary II in November 2019, Lesotho committed to wide ranging national reforms including in the security sector. Amongst the reforms, “public outreach, citizen engagement strategies …. [and] institutional capacity building for communication of sensitive issues, rumour management and public dialogue for good governance, conflict prevention and management” were envisaged. The Lesotho / UN National Security Sector Reforms for Peacebuilding Project (NSSRPP) picked up on these issues and pledged support to them through Outcome 4 of the Project, “enhanced government and state security institutions engagement with society, and citizen participation in SSR”. In furtherance of NSSRPP Outcome 4, UNDP seeks a communication expert to support Lesotho’s National Reforms Transitional Office (NRTO) or its successor for to build institutional capacity for public and media relations, through training workshop(s); and support the design, development and production of information, education and communication materials on implementation of SSR.
