Background
UNDP Montenegro, through its Rule of Law and Human Rights Programme, has been providing policy, expert and technical support to the Ministry of Justice in its efforts to attain a balance of power at the top of the political pyramid by means of strengthening the capacities of the judicial branch of power since 2007 until now.
Given that the year 2011 draws to its end, the measures and activities outlined in the Action Plan for this period need to be analyzed. Thus, the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro intends to analyze the results of the Action plan’s realization for the year 2011 through an all-encompassing Report listing fully realized, partially realized and unrealized measures and thus, clearly establish what the remaining activities defined by this document are to be implemented in the course of the forthcoming year.
The project is primarily designed to support the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro. However, given the fundamental importance of the Ministry of Justice to uphold the rule of law and its importance with respect to the foreseen increase in the legislative burden, while Montenegro continues on its path of reform and the EU integration process, the indirect beneficiaries of the project will include all Montenegrin citizens. In the aim of fulfilling the above mentioned objectives, UNDP Montenegro intends to engage a National Consultant to assist the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro in drafting the Report on realization of measures from the Action plan for the implementation of the Strategy for the reform of judiciary (2007-2012) for the year 2011, in the scope of the project Strengthening the Capacities of the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro.

the year 2011;

between measures that were devised as one-off activities and those that are of continuous character;

and the reasoning behind this.
