The USAID Rule of Law Program is a five-year (2022-2026) activity funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented by the East-West Management Institute (EWMI).  The goal of the Program is to strengthen the rule of law in Georgia by building the independence and effectiveness of justice sector institutions, enhancing access to justice for all segments of society, and increasing citizen and institutional oversight of justice sector institutions.

The USAID Rule of Law Program is seeking to create a roster of the professional photographers – from Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, Borjomi and Telavi - to photo document its ongoing activities and public events. The Program would like to select several professional photographers with a demonstrated expertise in artistic photography and photo reporting. Selected candidates will be invited for on-call assignments to provide a professional photo coverage of the Program activities.

Under the overall supervision of the Program team member(s), the photographer(s) shall provide the Program with the following service:

1. Photo document official events and activities;
2. Consider travelling throughout Georgia if requested by the assignment;
3. Process and edit photo materials and deliver them to the Program in an electronic format in the timeframes set by the Program designated person; 
4. Ensure the quality of photo materials suitable for printing, publishing, web design and broadcasting;
5. Use his/her own professional equipment for photography, processing and editing;
6. Treat all photo materials taken under a Program assignment as the exclusive private property of the Program and not provide those materials or modifications of those materials to any media outlet, publishing agency, organization or person unless explicitly authorized to do so by the Program.

Professional photo reports should illustrate official events, activities and human stories.
