    Description:

    A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION U.S. Embassy Maseru announces an open competition for organizations and individuals interested in submitting applications to implement a project that will deliver tailored human rights training modules for Lesotho Correctional Services (LCS) leadership and policymakers, covering topics such as international human rights standards, inmate rights, ethical conduct, and conflict resolution. This training should include interactive workshops and scenario-based learning exercises. Additionally, the project will support the establishment of a dedicated human rights unit within LCS to oversee compliance and investigate reported abuses.


    Program Objectives:

    1. Conduct comprehensive human rights training for Lesotho law enforcement agencies, and specifically LCS, building on previous UNDP training, to enhance their understanding and application of human rights principles in daily operations.

    2. Support the creation of a dedicated human rights unit within LCS. Establish criteria the new unit can use to monitor and report human rights violations, oversee compliance with human rights standards and investigate reported abuses effectively to ensure accountability and transparency.


    Anticipated Outcome(s):

    1. Increased awareness, knowledge, and understanding of international human rights principles and ethical conduct among LCS officials will allow

    for an environment where preventative measures can be implemented to forestall human rights violations.

    2. Improved ability to handle conflict resolution and protect inmate rights.

    3. Improved reporting and accountability mechanisms for addressing human rights violations within LCS.

    4. Improved oversight of human rights compliance within the LCS.

    5. Reduced incidents of human rights abuses and enhanced respect for inmate rights within correctional facilities.


    Participants and Audiences: All applicants must be registered Civil Society Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations, or individuals with demonstrated experience in human rights training and capacity-building.


    Any application that is received after the deadline, is incomplete, or is missing required documentation will be rejected.

    Please Note: The U.S Embassy Maseru retains the right to ask for additional documents not included in this NOFO.


    Application guidelines can be requested via email, grantsmaseru@state.gov

    The U.S. Embassy Maseru will accept applications from July 16, 2024 to August 16, 2024
