Background | |
Tanzania has held four credible general elections since the
reintroduction of multi-party politics in 1992. Citizens and the
government are eager to maintain this track record and to further
strengthen democratic practice in Tanzania. Looking to the 2015 general
election, government has undertaken early and comprehensive preparations
for the electoral processes. Since receipt of official requests for UN
assistance to the election cycle leading to the 2015 general election
from the National Election Commission (NEC) and Zanzibar Electoral
Commission (ZEC), a UN Needs Assessment Mission recommended the
development of a project in support of the national efforts.
In addition, in 2014 the United Republic of Tanzania will likely
conduct a first national referendum on a new constitution. The EMBs and
other stakeholders in preparing for these critical events have
requested the assistance of UNDP to provide technical support to the
preparation and execution of this referendum.
To these ends, the Democratic Empowerment Project is a four year
(2013-2016) UNDP, UN One Fund and other donor-funded project with the
overall aim of contributing to Tanzania’s UNDAP’s Outcome 7: i.e. “Key
institutions of democracy, (i.e. EMBs, etc.) effectively implement their
election and political functions”. UN Women and UNESCO are implementing
partners in a One UN Country Team context.
