2022 Annual Sub-Grants Forum Facilitator

INTRODUCTION:

Under its 5-year ACCESS Program, supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), ABA ROLI Philippines requires a service provider to design and facilitate the In-person Annual Subgrant Forum to take place on the 25th and 26th of October in collaboration with the ABA ROLI Philippines Program Team.

ABA ROLI is a non‐profit organization that implements legal reform programs in roughly 50 countries around the world. ABA ROLI has nearly 500 professional staff working abroad and in its Washington, D.C. office. ABA ROLI’s host country partners include judges, lawyers, bar associations, law schools, court administrators, legislatures, ministries of justice, and a wide array of civil society organizations, including human rights groups.

For more than a decade, ABA ROLI has focused on improving court efficiency, increasing business sector confidence, combating corruption, and expanding access to justice in the Philippines. By continuously working with a broad coalition of local partners — trial and appellate courts, the Supreme Court, the Philippine Judicial Academy, the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, universities, law schools, and a spectrum of civil society representatives — ABA ROLI is building local capacity to champion and uphold the rule of law.
