PURPOSE

The Movement Building Programme seeks a consultant to produce guidance tools on good organisational practices. This will be based on a review of a set of Organisational Health and Governance related policies. These tools are linked to Amnesty’s revised Core standards which cover areas of good practice in Human resources, wellbeing, managing grievances and conflicts as well as good governance and financial management practices. The Core Standards are part of a larger Accountability Framework and have recently been updated after undergoing a review in consultation with the Amnesty movement and now guidance and good practice tools that support the implementation of these standards require a review and update.
