Background:

Legal Environment Assessment (LEA)

An assessment of Ukraine's national legal and regulatory framework is an important step in strengthening the response to TB. The primary aim of a legal and regulatory assessment is to identify and review TB, HIV, health and any other related laws, regulations and policies and practices to identify which laws, policies and practices are relevant and have an impact in the national response to TB. A range of laws (not just health laws) are implicated because TB is not just health/medical issues, but also have issues that require deep inquiry into structural factors of inequality, power, personal and social dynamics.

The outcome of the national LEA is to make recommendations for strengthening an enabling environment for an effective response to TB. More specifically, the outcome of the LEA is to generate evidence and use it actively to strengthen the legal environment, including through law review and reform, programmes to increase awareness of rights and access to legal services and improve law enforcement. The assessment supports governments to meet their commitments and targets related to eliminating TB, stigma and discrimination and to create enabling legal environments. UNDP and Stop TB Partnership will develop actionable, evidence-informed and human-rights-based recommendations for an effective TB and HIV response. TB touches the lives of many different people and groups across a wide range of sectors; the ways in which their lives and activities are regulated may affect their exposure to TB or their vulnerability to the impact of TB. The expected TB LEA will include a range of laws affecting TB key populations, such as: children's laws that set out children's rights; family, marriage and inheritance laws providing information on the rights of women to own and inherit property; criminal laws that affect people with TB (e.g., laws that criminalize non-adherence to TB medication or call for the solitary confinement of people with TB and MDR-TB); laws that criminalize the behaviour of key populations at risk for TB including people who inject drugs; intellectual property laws that restrict or promote access to TB medications; correctional service laws that determine access to services for prisoners; citizenship, immigration/migration and/or refugee laws that determine access to services for non-citizens; employment laws that set out the rights of people with TB in the workplace, and necessitate non-discrimination and compensation; and disability laws that set out the rights of people with disabilities.

UNDP and Stop TB partnership seeks the services of a National Senior LEA Expert to provide expert services for the TB LEA in Ukraine as leader of a team of consultants to conduct the TB Legal environment assessment in Ukraine building on the USAID HIV LEA conducted by Delloitte and legal assessment baseline by the Global Fund.
