The Department seeks quotations for an online training course on Legislative Drafting for four officials. The course aims to enhance skills in drafting and interpreting legislation, requiring no formal legal qualifications.
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment is inviting quotations for the provision of an online short course titled 'Introduction to Legislative Drafting'. This training is designed for four officials who are actively involved in policy development and regulatory frameworks within the biodiversity and conservation sector. The course will cover essential topics such as the principles of legislative drafting, statutory interpretation, and the alignment of policy objectives with enforceable legal provisions. Participants will engage in practical exercises to strengthen their drafting capabilities, ensuring compliance with existing legal frameworks.
The training is expected to last a minimum of two weeks and will be conducted online, making it accessible for the participants. The service provider must be accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) and provide a certificate of competence upon completion. This initiative is crucial for enhancing the technical capacity of the officials, thereby improving the quality and consistency of regulatory instruments developed by the Department. By equipping staff with these skills, the Department aims to ensure that their legislative outputs are clear, effective, and legally sound.
This tender is suitable for training providers with expertise in legislative drafting and accreditation from SAQA. Businesses that offer online training solutions and have experience in environmental policy or legal education are encouraged to apply.
