Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist

Advertising issued in June 2024 for a consultancy based in Kyiv.

The Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA) is an initiative launched by the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), and European Union (EU) governments in May 2022 in response to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine. The initiative aims to provide support to the war crimes units under the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine (OPG) and other partner organizations in documenting, investigating, and prosecuting international crimes, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, committed in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine. ACA is composed of five partner organizations, each of which deploys experts to support the OPG. In October 2022, Georgetown University Law Center (GU) took on the role of lead implementing partner for the ACA, which includes a mandate to lead coordination across ACA partner organizations.
