The Workshop on Formulating and Implementing Electoral Assistance Projects in the Context of the EC-UNDP Partnership successfully took place from Tuesday February 1st to Friday February 4, at the European Commission’ Conference Centre Albert BORSCHETTE, Rue Froissart 36, 1040 Brussels, Belgium.<\/p>

The objective of the workshop was to strengthen the knowledge of relevant staff of EU\/EC, UN\/UNDP and Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs) on Formulating and Implementing Electoral Assistance Projects in the context of the EU-UNDP Partnership on Electoral Assistance.<\/p>

More specifically, the training provided detailed information on existing frameworks, promoted exchange of experiences and participants also acquired useful tools to better understand legal and operational aspects related to the electoral cycle and to the EU-UNDP partnership on electoral assistance.<\/p>

Areas such as legal framework, specific timeframes, division of responsibilities and all other aspects related to the implementation of the partnership were dealt with in detail in addition to lessons learned, evaluations and recommendations for the future electoral assistance projects in the context of UNDP managed basket funds.<\/p>

The participants familiarized with resource persons and reference tools available at the Headquarters and in the field.<\/p>

The methodology was designed to maximize the learning outcomes and the exchange of experience focusing on the mainstreaming of the principles of the \u201c2005 Paris Declarations\u201d and the \u201c2008 Accra Agenda for Actions\u201d on Aid Effectiveness, Harmonization, Alignment and Ownership applied to the electoral assistance field.<\/p>

Through the integration of BRIDGE style training methodology, the workshop took on board a variety of pedagogical techniques to ensure the value added of interactive learning.<\/p>

Presentations were used to introduce topics and case studies to the audience. Resource persons were asked to limit their presentations to allow for questions and answers from the participants.<\/p>

In order to facilitate learning outcomes, we encouraged the resource persons to use power point slides which are available at the end of this page.<\/p>

Challenges and positive results were presented and served as an integrated tool to explore potential dynamics and implications.<\/p>

Group work: Interactive group work was organized and all participants were divided into smaller groups. The main objective was to stimulate active reflection and engagement in discussions in order to efficiently apply topics taught and lessons drawn.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Within a teamwork approach, views and experiences were shared and participants benefit from this exercise. A maximum number of five working groups worked in parallel facilitated by two facilitators each. Each group appointed a spokesperson. The spokespersons reported back to the plenary and the facilitators summarized the main discussions in the plenary session concluding each group workshop.<\/p>\n\n

Video recording: The workshop was video-recorded. The presentations and discussions were thus a crucial input to the eLearning Course on Formulating and Implementing Electoral Assistance Projects in the Context of the EC UNDP Partnership which is under development.<\/p>\n\n

E-Learning: All participants were granted access to the eLearning Course on Effective Electoral Assistance one month in advance of the course. See the course at www.ec-undp-electoralassistance.net\/e-learning<\/p>\n\n

Evaluation: Evaluations have shown that EC-UNDP-IDEA trainings and workshops have been successful in lifting knowledge levels and in exchanging experiences across the different stakeholders in elections.<\/p>\n\n

Evaluations have provided useful input to the development of the training programme and a practice we want to continue. To this end, participants were asked to respond to a questionnaire to express their personal assessment of each agenda topic in terms of content and presentation allowing for both quantitative and qualitative responses.<\/p>\n\n

A summary of the workshop, taking on board participants\u2019 statistics as well as the evaluation will be published online at www.ec-undp-electoralassistance.net in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n

Translations: The plenary sessions had simultaneous translations in English-French-Portuguese languages, guarantying the full and free participation from all participants.<\/p>\n\n

Background materials: Background notes were provided in advance to the participants by e-mail, including the reports of the evaluations conducted by external evaluations in 2010 on the EC UNDP Partnership on Electoral Assistance.<\/p>\n\n

Operational Paper: A relevant outcome of the workshop will be an operational paper of the Joint EC UNDP JTF, also entitled \u201cFormulation and Implementing Electoral Assistance Projects in the Context of the EC UNDP Partnership\u201d. This will be based on the notes of the rapporteurs, on the presentations, on the video-interviews and evaluations. This operational paper will be made available on the JTF web site and will also be the base of a forthcoming E-learning course.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
