The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has established a leading global position in delivering support to countries to prevent and combat corruption, serving as the guardian of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC). Within UNODC, the overall substantive and implementation responsibilities and functions relating to UNCAC are vested with the Corruption and Financial Crime Branch (CFB).  The UNODC Strategy for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (2022-2026) provides an institutional framework approach for the promotion of gender equality and gender mainstreaming throughout UNODC’s programmatic activities and organizational policies and practices. Conscious of the interlinkages between gender and corruption, in 2020 UNODC launched the in-depth study and flagship publication The Time is Now – Addressing the gender dimensions of corruption, assessing how anti-corruption and gender equality efforts tend to be mutually reinforcing and how synergies between the two can strengthen policy decisions and legal frameworks. UNODC is currently implementing,a project that aims to support the beneficiary country in preventing and fighting corruption through more effective investigation, prosecution and adjudication of cases of corruption and economic crime, and in strengthening the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CFT) regime with a specific focus on detection, investigation and prosecution of money laundering and underlying predicate offences. This initiative is part of a wider technical assistance programme aimed at strengthening the legislative and institutional framework and capacity to more effectively prevent and fight corruption and money laundering in Haiti.  Against this background, this consultancy will support the delivery and updating of dedicated materials aimed at strengthening Haiti’s capacity to detect, investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate corruption and money laundering cases, with particular attention to the gender dimensions of these crimes and gender-sensitive investigative approaches.
