Pacific Elections Assistance Program (PEAP)

The Pacific Elections Assistance Program (PEAP) has been designed to maximise the utility of UNDP’s global elections experience by developing a dedicated office and focal point for UNDP electoral assistance in the Pacific. In support of Pacific Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs) and the political and voting rights of all Pacific islanders, the Program will contribute to the enhancement of knowledge, capacity, and regional cooperation among Pacific electoral stakeholders. As part of UNDP Pacific Multi-Country Office Effective Governance Team, the PEAP will bring focused, efficient, continuous, elections support to Pacific Island Countries.

The program focuses on three Pacific regional-specific outputs:(1) EMBs deliver effective, efficient, and inclusive elections with increased capacity and resources. (2) EMBs make robust and informed decisions, safeguarding the integrity of elections with improved independence and stronger mandates. (3) Citizens actively engage, understand, and are committed to protecting democratic rights and values.
