The success or failure of electoral assistance projects impacts upon on the global partnership between EC and UNDP. It is therefore important to ensure that mutual expectations are met and that each project is effectively designed and implemented and adequately monitored. Based on the observations of EC and UNDP services at Headquarters and field level, it was decided to strengthen the partnership by reinforcing the activities developed so far.

The "Joint Task Force on Electoral Assistance" (JTF) is formed by EC and UNDP staff dealing with Electoral Assistance at HQ levels among Brussels, New York, Mexico City and Copenhagen. The overarching purpose of the JTF is to further strengthen and facilitate the EC-UNDP partnership in the electoral assistance field and aims to improve the overall efficiency and adherence of the projects to the common EC/UNDP strategic approach.

The focus of the JTF is to provide identification, formulation and implementation support for joint EC-UNDP projects on electoral assistance whenever needed and requested by EC Delegations and/or UNDP Country Offices. The lessons learned will be consolidated and codified so that they can effectively feed into the implementation of the new electoral assistance projects, the joint EC-UNDP training exercises and on the “Global Electoral Knowledge Network” within the Administration and Cost of Election project (ACE Project).

The Specific tasks of the JTF include: a) Operational Guidance and implementation strategies for the management of joint EC UNDP electoral assistance projects. b) Liaison and Interactions with the different services involved, at headquarters and field level, throughout the operations cycle to ensure the application of the recommended quality standards. c) Training, development of content and dissemination of information.
