| Overview : BACKGROUND The Provisional Constitution of the Federal Republic of Somalia, adopted in 2012, mandates the National Independent Electoral Commission (NIEC) to manage electoral processes in the country. Thus, in line with its Democratic Governance mandate, the United Nations (UN) established the UN Integrated Electoral Support Group (IESG) to support the NIEC in implementing its constitutional mandate. The UN IESG consists of UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) and UNDP staff under the leadership of a Director. It works closely with the NIEC to provide technical assistance required to facilitate universal elections envisaged to be held in 2020. The management and administration of the registration processes requires the development of a voter registration manual with illustrations. The manual would be used primarily by electoral officials as a guide to the process. It will also be used to train staff and to inform observers, political parties and their agents, the media and the general public. To ensure the above, UNDP under the auspices of the UN IESG and, in support of NIEC’s constitutional mandate, requires services of a Graphic Designer to design, illustrate and layout the Voter Registration manual, a Training Guide, and Training posters derived from the manual, and Frequently Asked Questions on the voter registration process. SCOPE OF WORK Objectives: The consultant will undertake the following tasks under the direct supervision of the UN IESG’s Senior Electoral Officer: - Conceptualize, design, format and layout Voter Registration manual, and Training Guide
- Prepare illustrations to illustrate the voter registration process.
- Prepare material for print production, ensuring quality control.
- Develop any other graphic design or illustration work as required.
