Objectives

The Institutional Strengthening and Professional Development Support for the Election Commission of Nepal project aims to build up the capacity of the Election Commission to efficiently hold participatory, peaceful and credible elections. It is a new kind of initiative for Nepal as it is being run between elections — in the period between the April 2008 nationwide elections and the next elections — rather than around an election. The next elections are due once the new constitution has been produced. This support should have a longer lasting impact than one-off support to elections.
