The training of police officers to equip them with the necessary skills to perform their duties is an integral part of the enhancement for professional and institutional growth of the Force. In this new democratic dispensation, the Gambia Police Force (GPF) is greatly challenged to serve the people with utmost professionalism and diligence, taking into consideration the ethical demands for transparency and accountability. The UNFPA Country Office is supporting the Gambia Police Force (GPF) in this exercise with the recruitment of a Consultant in Training Need Assessment.
The consultancy is expected to undertake the following tasks and activities:
- Conduct interview and data collections to identify training gaps and improve response of the police force with communities
- Map the trainings already delivered and assess their impact on the police personnel trained
- Ensure alignment between stakeholders/partners intervention supports and GPF’s performance gaps and need.
- Design recommendations for training delivery programmes to be implemented
- Develop a comprehensive training plan/calendar targeting personnel at the tactical, operational and strategic levels.
The TNA will identify all training needs that could be deployed to improve the performance gaps identified among the personnel of the Force. In this regard, the opted trainings will not only enhance the knowledge and skills of the police personnel and quality service delivery of the GPF, but also strengthen trust and respect from members of the public.
Qualifications and experiences:
- An advanced University degree or a first degree with relevant years of experience in conducting research.
