Dear Don Anton,



I hope this email finds you well.



I’m a Program Manager within the Africa Division of the ABA Rule of Law
Initiative (ABA ROLI) and I’m reaching out for an upcoming regional
training workshop on Environmental Law that ABA ROLI is planning for select
group of magistrates and lawyers from Burundi, Republic of Congo,
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Rwanda. In brief, though our
African Center for Justice (ACJ ) program we are planning a regional
workshop that will take place from 26-27 May 2015 in Kinshasa, DRC to
develop the capacity of justice sector participants to have a practical
understanding of comparative law and legal mechanisms for promoting
environmental protections as part of economic development in a manner that
ensures the realization of social and economic rights.



We are actively looking to recruit an French speaking, legal expert on
Environmental Law to serve as the primary trainer/facilitator for this
regional workshop. We would very much appreciate if ABA ROLI could tap into
your professional network to identify potential candidates for this
short-term assignment. Please may I ask you to circulate the attached terms
of reference (in French)?



The workshop will combined instructive presentations by an international
legal expert together with group discussions and the peer-to-peer exchanges
of professional experiences. For a portion of the workshop, participants
could be formed into small working groups within which they will identify
and discussed the applicable laws and practices in place within their
respective countries. Subsequently, in a plenary discussion each group
would be asked to present not only an overview of the legal mechanisms with
each country, but also their analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of
these mechanisms. In the end, our goal for the regional workshop would be
that the practical legal experiences exchanged, the case studies discussed,
and the critical analysis of the benefits, challenges and lessons learned
will provide a means for assessing the shortcomings and advantages of
various law and legal mechanisms across the region. Ideally all
participants would depart from the regional workshop with a shared
agreement to take action within their spheres of influence to promote the
role that judicial systems can play a role in promoting environmental law
within both economic and social development.



I’m positive that our recruitment for a trainer/facilitator would benefit
greatly from your assistance; the deadline for all applications is April
17, 2015.



Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!



Best regards,

~Adam
