Gavi is seeking to engage an external legal service provider to advise on human resources (HR) and employment matters within Gavi’s internal legal framework. Importantly, this engagement is not about Swiss national law; instead the focus is international administrative law and policies, ensuring compliance with Gavi’s privileges and immunities and in alignment with best practices of international administrative tribunals. The selected firm will provide expert legal counsel on staff employment issues, handle dispute resolution in accordance with Gavi’s internal procedures, and bring specialized experience with organizations that enjoy similar privileges and immunities.

This approved investment is designated towards funding budgetary and financial management activities, to help facilitate and stabilise the transition of Gavi resources over to using country systems. Funding is broadly allocated across: (i) Assurance provider services to ensure compliance and mitigate fiduciary risks associated with national counterparts’ managing Gavi resources; (ii) limited-duration capacity building services (or solutions) to strengthen specific components of national systems, per agreed scope of work, and could include some ongoing skills transfer and capacity building; and (iii) ongoing provision of financial technical assistance, advisory services and capacity building, to transfer technical expertise, coach and promote agile learning approaches, with outputs that enable successful transition from the technical assistance.
