GPECS includes the cross cutting issues of support to policy and strategy formulation, the electoral operational planning and budgeting efforts, as well as to the procurement planning, and examines methodologies available for the implementation of electoral operations, as well as implementation of capacity building initiatives for institutional strengthening.

  • Capacity Development

    A key focus is capacity development on operational effectiveness necessary to plan and implement timely and costly reasonable inclusive elections both at EMB and UNDP Country Offices, to align the procurement cycle with the electoral cycle and improve efficiency of the electoral assistance activities.

The planning draws from analysis of comparative options identifying strategies for each type of activities, services and equipment required, including examination of corresponding effective risk mitigation measures.

Capacity development is foreseen through provision of operational guidance and advice; liaison and interaction; and development of knowledge products and information, e.g. global and regional level exchanges, trainings, seminars, e-learning's, publications etc.
