We support public sector and Third Sector entities to monitor and assess the impact of their activities on beneficiaries and ensure organisations and initiatives are providing the best value.
Here are some of the things we have done:
This project was designed to help LSK to develop its capacity to regulate and supervise lawyers from an AML/CFT perspective. The outcomes of the project were to build on the LSK’s risk-based thinking on the legal sector, thereby enabling a better understanding of the key illicit finance risks (focussing on AML/CFT) within the sector and to provide LSK with the tools to develop its ability to superintend the legal profession on an independent and continuous basis. This not only improved LSK’s relationship with the legal sector and other parts of the Government of Kenya but also the legal sector’s overall compliance with its legal obligations.
We were commissioned by the Chief Justice of the Cayman Islands to undertake a thorough review of the current legislative and regulatory framework for lawyers and law firms; Identification of gaps/needs in the regulations and Code of Conduct relating to the conduct of lawyers; continuing professional development; regulation of entities; and guidance for lawyers prosecuting and defending criminal cases. The review made recommendations for policy and other operational reforms and considerations.
Hook Tangaza provided consultancy services to Rule of Law Expertise (ROLE UK) to evaluate the institutional framework and administration of the UK Sierra Leone Pro Bono Network (UKSLPBN). The project also included analysing and evaluating the activities undertaken by the UKSLPBN to support the Sierra Leonean government in implementing its Justice Sector Reform Strategy and Investment Plan 2015 to 2018. As part of the process, we also produced a case study on the impact of ROLE UK’s support of the network and for the value for money of the work of the Network.
The World Bank published a study in January 2016 which suggested that South Africa could increase its GDP by up to 0.5 percentage points by improving the functioning of its professional services markets. We were asked by our client, a foreign funding agency, to identify all of the issues for the professional and business services sector that had been flagged by international institutions, the South African government itself, the foreign investor community, and the local private sector in recent years. We then designed a programme of potential cooperation projects, which also identified international public sector and professional services partners who would be willing and able to contribute to specialist technical assistance projects across the sector.
