<tr><td valign="top"><h4>Tanzania: Political Party Capacity-Building </h4><p><p>ERIS, with local partner Essen Tanzania, has been awarded a contract by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to train political parties in Tanzania and Zanzibar in preparation for the forthcoming 2010 election.</p>
<p>The project aims to enhance the capacity of political parties to engage in the democratic process and thereby to make a positive contribution to long-term stability and a sustainable culture of democracy.</p>
<p>The specific aims of the project are:</p>
<ul>
<li>To enhance political parties’ understanding of electoral rules and processes and enable them to contribute towards ensuring the credibility and transparency of the elections; </li>
<li>To increase political parties’ ability to interact with the media; </li>
<li>To improve political parties’ capacity to train party agents to observe polling, counting and result aggregation; </li>
<li>To encourage parties to understand and engage with the needs of women, youth and first-time voters, non-literate and minority groups during the campaign. </li>
</ul>
<p>The project is taking place as part of UNDP’s Electoral Support Project, which was launched in 2009.</p>
<p>These aims will be achieved through a series of workshops covering electoral legal framework, political parties' media interaction and vulnerable groups’ needs and ways to address them during the election.</p>
<p>Additionally, over 230 workshops will be delivered to train political parties’ resource persons to enable them to subsequently train, deploy, supervise and debrief party agents on Election-Day.</p>
