ՈՎ ԿԱՐՈՂ Է ԴԻՄԵԼ : 

Only Armenian citizens are eligible for this position.

ԾՐԱԳՐԻ ՄԱՍԻՆ : 

The over-all purpose of the USAID/Armenia’s Justice Sector Support Project (hereinafter referred to as the JSSP or the Project) is to support the Government of Armenia in establishing a fair and equitable justice system and increase public confidence in the rule of law. JSSP supports targeted justice sector institutions through: (1) establishing effective and efficient court administration and case management systems; (2) supporting self-regulatory institutional capacity development; (3) improving legal and professional education; and (4) facilitating oversight of the implementation of justice sector reform through collaborative action.

Within the framework of the cooperation between the USAID/Armenia Project and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Armenia (hereinafter referred to as the Court), the Project intends to provide assistance to the Court in the form of national expertise aimed at providing any necessary development, drafting, finalizing, and eventually facilitating ratifying the Statute of the Staff of the Court (hereinafter the Staff Statute). The existence and implementation of the Statute is a mandatory requirement under the Law on the Public Service of Armenia, under which the Court’s personnel transitioned in early 2020. Additionally, the required job descriptions under the civil service are not prepared and utilized at the Court, therefore the Project will also provide national expertise in developing the “position passports” (job descriptions), which will precisely provide clear description of tasks per department and individual staffer, enhancing the efficiency of the Court’s departments. The process of preparation of both the Statute and the job descriptions of the Staff shall be coordinated with the Court in line with the terms and conditions agreed with the Court and the project during the assignment.
