Historique

The intervention strategy of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Elections Project in Haiti is part of the overall objective of UNDP and the international community in Democratic Governance. It is specifically designed to support the national ownership of the Transient College of the Permanent Electoral Council (CTCEP) through a process of transfer of electoral knowledge and skills, in order to meet internationally recognized quality standards.

This intervention strategy incorporates an important element on the promotion of full participation of women in the electoral process, based on an analysis shared by key actors on the barriers and drivers of participation of women in elections as voters, candidates and actors of the electoral process.

The 2013-2014 Elections Project is centered on the capacity development and transfer of knowledge to the CTCEP. The Technical Specialist on Electoral Administration and Gender will assist the Elections Chief Technical Advisor in strategic planning, gender mainstreaming, and administrative tasks related to management of the Basket Fund, in a particularly complex political and operational context
