NATIONAL EXPERT DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE (NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, POLITICAL PARTIES)- READVERTISEMENT: http://jobs.undp.org/cj_view_job.cfm?cur_job_id=27613

Background

Democratic governance is a concept that emerged from the principles that are based on the understanding that an effective system of democratic governance is one which is based on representative, equitable (across gender and other categories), transparent, accountable and inclusive institutions; a vibrant, responsible and capable media; and a dynamic civil society which is engaged in the political process. The overall goal of the Democratic Governance for Development Project (DGD) in Nigeria is to help develop the capacity of national and sub-national institutions, networks and processes, whether governmental or non-governmental, as a contribution to the further entrenchment of democratic governance in Nigeria.

Under the strategic direction of the Project Director, the supervision of the International Expert Democratic Governance and working in close coordination with UNDP’s Capacity for Governance Team Leader and development partners, the National Expert Democratic Governance National Assembly (NASS) and Political Parties (PP) will support and provide expert services in negotiations, identification of priorities, preparation of relevant documents, implementation of activities and follow up support for management and continued partnership development to the project on behalf of UNDP.
