ASF IS LOOKING FOR A TRANSLATOR/INTERPRETER IN TANZANIA (ENGLISH/SWAHILI)
Background With funding from the Belgian DGD, Avocats Sans Frontières (ASF) is implementing a five-year programme (2022-2026) in Tanzania. Through civic participation, the programme aims to operate a paradigmatic change towards socio-economic development that is sustainable, inclusive, and respectful of the rule of law and human rights. The outcome sought through this project is to empower Tanzanian communities and civil society organizations to engage government and industry in fostering access to justice, good governance and human rights in natural resource governance. The project works around three main pillars, including documentation, remedy and advocacy. Under the second pillar dedicated to remedy, legal assistance will be provided to communities whose human rights have been affected by extractive industries. As part of its capacity-building activities in Tanzania on available remedy mechanisms in the field of extractive industries (mining, oil and gas), ASF is looking for a national translator and interpreter. The training will seek to enhance the capacities of civil society organizations and legal aid providers on the functioning of remedy mechanisms in Tanzania.
