UNDP in partnership with the Electoral Commission of South Africa has developed a 5 year support programme to the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) for the UN to assist the Commission in a number of areas to consolidate and build further on the gains made from the democratic transition process in South Africa since the first multi-party democratic elections in 1994. With the upcoming local government elections in 2016, which will be a further test to SA’s democratic consolidation, this has become more crucial. The purpose of this short –term consultancy is to support the UNDP South Africa put in place project and programme systems (project preparation and institutionalisation), and provide technical support in carrying the key major activities with the project partners between the period October to December 2015. This will also entail working very closely and regular liaison with the IEC and the Department of Basic Education (DBE). |
