Call for Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)

**Anticipated Opportunity:** Seeking Subject Matter Experts with experience in Human Rights and other Areas of Expertise

We are building a roster of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to support work related to rights‑respecting remedy and implementation efforts. This work is grounded in procedural fairness, transparency, and meaningful rightsholder participation, recognising that *how* decisions are made is as important as *what* is decided in post‑conflict and culturally sensitive contexts.

- UNGP‑aligned remedy design and implementation; rights‑based approaches in extractives‑affected or post‑conflict settings
- Design/operation of grievance mechanisms, dispute resolution, and safeguarding systems
- Conflict sensitivity, reconciliation, social cohesion, and legitimacy‑building through process transparency

- Gender equality and women’s meaningful participation in decision‑making
- Environmental and social assessment; remediation/mitigation planning and monitoring (especially where community health and safety are at issue)

- Provide expert review of plans, designs, and deliverables and participate in technical advisory inputs and quality assurance, including targeted cultural guidance
- Support the design of governance, engagement, and remedy processes that emphasise transparency and legitimacy
