BRIDGE Accrediting Facilitator to lead BRIDGE Modular Workshops for Election Administrators
The Democratic Governance for Development (DGD) project is managed by UNDP in support of elections and more broadly, the deepening of democracy in Nigeria. It is funded with contributions from The European Union, the UK Department for International Development (DfID), UNDP, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). The project duration covers the period 2010-2015. It aims to consolidate and advance democratic governance and accountability in Nigeria to achieve the country’s stated development priorities and outcomes as specified in the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) namely: improvements in accountable governance in accordance with the rule of law and in response to public demand, in the key areas of elections, justice, and anti-corruption. An integral, cross-cutting aspect is the promotion of gender equality and women’s empowerment for sustainable democracy and development. These objectives are pursued through six distinct and inter-related programming components:
During the first phase of DGD between August 2010 and May 2011, the support was focused on ensuring a free and fair General Election. Support was extended to key institutions such as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The January-March 2012 period is considered transitional to the launching of the project’s Phase 2 that is expected to commence in later in the year. The transitional phase provides the opportunity to support some strategic activities that build on Phase I support. With regard to INEC, the project will provide support in several areas including institutional strengthening and capacity building. In line with this DGD seeks to support INEC to provide BRIDGE training to strengthen staff capacity and skills to manage a credible electoral process. Building Resources in Democracy, Governance and Elections (BRIDGE) training is a 24 module professional development course focused on electoral processes and the improvement of the quality of election administration. Towards this end, DGD is seeking the services of 2 Accrediting/Lead BRIDGE Facilitator to conduct modular workshops for election administrators. The workshops are scheduled for February-March, 2012 and will target INEC Senior Management and Administrators. The key objective of the consultancy is to train election administrators and other election assistance providers on particular areas of elections covered by the BRIDGE curriculum including gender, planning and project management and election observation.
