In the framework of the project of the electoral support and the implementation of an electoral cycle in the Central African Republic (CAR), the Representation of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in CAR launches a recruitment of a Chief Technical Advisor for the Project of Support to the Electoral Cycle in collaboration with the National Electoral Authority and the Ministry of Territorial Administration.
The Central African Republic has in the past year witnessed a series of complex political changes. In January 2013, the (now former) Government of CAR and the (now former) Seleka rebellion signed the Libreville Agreement under the auspices of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS). However, on 24 March 2013, the Seleka successfully ousted President Bozize who won the Presidential elections in 2011 – a process that was supported by UNDP and the international community. Following the coup, a roadmap was developed and adopted for the transition laying down specific steps for the return of the country to constitutional order. The Agreement and the Roadmap provide for the organization of free, fair and transparent elections within 18 months of the start of the transition period, with the understanding that the transition would begin with the swearing in of the Head of State of the Transition on 18 August 2013. This set the date for elections to be organized by February 2015.
On 3 January 2014, the Government of CAR solicited the support of the United Nations system to prepare, organize and conduct multi-party elections (referendum, Presidential and legislative elections) in accordance with the timeline envisaged in the Transition Roadmap. In this regard, the UN Secretary-General agreed to dispatch a Needs Assessment Mission (NAM) to the Central African Republic from 27 January to 11 February 2014. As the results and recommendations of the NAM are now finalized, UNDP CAR is recruiting an electoral expert to support and advise the National Electoral Authority (ANE) to organize and manage the electoral process, while also managing a UNDP electoral basket fund. The expert as well as the UNDP project team will be part of the United Nations Integrated Electoral Team (UNIET) and work under the technical guidance of the Chief Electoral Officer and Head of the UN Integrated Electoral Team, without prejudice to UNDP internal reporting lines. The UN Integrated Electoral Team will be situated under the direct responsibility of the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General/United Nations Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative.
