GIZ Tanzania, together with the Ministry of Constitutional and Legal Affairs
(MoCLA), is implementing two projects aimed at enhancing access to justice for
women, children and other vulnerable groups. The projects aim at addressing
different aspects of access to justice including legal and institutional
frameworks, improved legal aid services, alternative dispute resolution and
criminal justice including victim protection. One focus area is gender-based
and sexualized violence. To this end, the projects collaborate with different
actors such as legal aid providers, police, prosecution and judiciary, and
civil society organizations as well as other actors that play a role in GBV
prevention and response.

The
projects are seeking to recruit an intern in the area of access to justice to support
selected activities related to legal and institutional reform, alternative
dispute resolution and criminal justice including implementation of workshops,
trainings and outreach activities in different regions in Tanzania.
