1. Technical assistance of Domestic Observers in view of the Presidential and Local Elections in Somaliland – Service Contract N° EC/2010/232-396. Somaliland

The global objective of the assignment was to provide expertise through training and capacity building to SONSAF (Somaliland Non State Actors Forum) and its member’s organizations in the area of electoral domestic observation for the Presidential elections in Somaliland. We carried out duties in Hargeisa, Somaliland. We contributed to increased transparency and accountability through the deployment of domestic observers to monitor polling as well as counting and tabulation procedures.

DESI acted as an advisor to SONSAF on all relevant demarches and steps (MoU, code of conduct for the electoral observers) that enabled the forum to monitor effectively the Presidential elections. DESI also assisted in the production of training manuals, the actual purchase of electoral observation material, etc., in producing a timely observation report and in organising a press conference where their findings were disclosed.
