Call for Tenders: Research on specialized curricular for judges and exploration of how the whistleblowing ecosystem has been capacitated to support the curricular

The Transparency, Integrity and Accountability Programme in South Africa (TIP) supports state and non-state actors in their independent roles to collaborate on implementing the National Anti-corruption Strategy (NACS). Through partnerships and collaboration, TIP works towards fostering active citizenry, developing capacities of key anti-corruption institutions and establishing multi-stakeholder partnerships.

The objective of the the research is for the service provider to conduct research on the existing South African judicial curriculum and identify the gaps in respect of the specialization of anti-corruption and whistleblowing mechanisms. Furthermore, research should seek to investigate how the whistleblowing value chain (police, investigators, independent agencies, specialised units etc.) have been capacitated to support whistleblowers.  The aim of the research is to conduct a benchmarking exercise, with other jurisdictions (up to 10) that employ a specialised curricular/and or training for judges, prosecutors, magistrates, police and investigators, then provide recommendations for the South African context.
