Overview

The Democratic Governance for Development (DGD) project is a joint donor funded project managed by UNDP to support deepening democracy and fostering credible elections in Nigeria. Contributors to the fund include the European Commission, the UK Department for International Development, CIDA, KOICA and UNDP. Against the background that democratic governance is a significant thematic area of all donors, DGD II is initiating a country-wide election contextual analysis towards the 2015 general election in Nigeria. Noting that the 2011 elections was held in consonance with internationally stipulated statutory conditions for fair and credible elections and was largely successful, the elections of 2015 will likely attract a heightened level of donors and other stakeholders engagement, interest and indeed proposals for intervention and funding. In this context, it is essential to have an arrangement in place whereby the political context can be continuously monitored by specialized experts with a deep and comprehensive knowledge about Nigeria’s history, specific thematic issues, as well as national and state level lines of conflict and their manifestations, allowing for well-substantiated assessments and expertise in the impact analysis To this end UNDP Nigeria intends to engage nineteen researchers with relevant educational background and experience on a retainer basis for ten months. Experts with relevant experience are hereby requested to submit their CVs and brief proposals on or before 16 June 2014. Please carefully review attached Procurement Notice and TOR for detail guidance on submission of offers.
