Participants
In order to encourage participation and promote a close community-of-practice environment in the meeting, participation will be limited to a maximum of approximately 63 participants. These will include an appropriate mix of UNDP field-based practitioners in Electoral Systems and Processes and headquarters colleagues, as well as a balance between internal and external members of the sub-practice, and regional representation. More specifically, UNDP participants will include UNDP country office National Programme Officers, Assistant Resident Representatives and/or Deputy Resident Representatives as appropriate; selected Chief and Senior Technical Advisors from UNDP-funded electoral assistance projects; interested Resident Representatives; SURF advisors; and headquarters advisers. An effort will be made to ensure that at least half of the participants are based in the field and that there is a good mix of representatives from country contexts in terms of timeline and typology of elections, with some representing long-standing UNDP assistance and others representing newer initiatives.
External participants will include keynote speakers who are senior electoral officials, leading academics and/or practitioners in the field, and will also reflect the breadth and depth of UNDP’s partnerships in the service line. Both established and potential partners of UNDP will be invited to participate in the entire meeting, including the Electoral Assistance Division of the UN Department of Political Affairs (DPA/EAD); the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA), the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), Elections Canada, the Instituto Federal Electoral of Mexico, the Electoral Institute of Southern Africa (EISA), the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), UNDESA and UNV.
