Knowledge Management and Archive Advisor (Consultant). UNDP, Kabul. Open until 14 April 2013

KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND ARCHIVE ADVISOR, ELECT/UNDP Location : Kabul, AFGHANISTAN Application Deadline : 14-Apr-13 Type of Contract : Individual Contract Post Level : International Consultant Languages Required : English Duration of Initial Contract : Six months Background UNDP supports stabilization, state building, governance and development priorities in Afghanistan. UNDP support, in partnership with the Government, the United Nations system, the donor community and other development stakeholders, has contributed to institutional development efforts leading to positive impact on the lives of Afghan citizens. Over the years UNDP support has spanned such milestone efforts as the adoption of the Constitution; Presidential, Parliamentary and Provincial Council elections; institutional development through capacity-building to the legislative, the judicial and executive arms of the state, and key ministries, Government agencies and commissions at the national and subnational levels. UNDP has played a key role in the management of the Law and Order Trust Fund, which supports the Government in developing and maintaining the national police force and in efforts to stabilize the internal security environment. Major demobilization, disarmament and rehabilitation and area-based livelihoods and reconstruction programmes have taken place nationwide. UNDP Programmes in Afghanistan have benefited from the very active support of donors. UNDP Afghanistan is committed to the highest standards of transparency and accountability and works in close coordination with the United Nations Mission in Afghanistan and the UN system as a whole to maximize the impact of its development efforts on the ground. Years of conflict have damaged Afghanistan’s economic, political, physical, social and institutional structures. Reconstruction demands a secure environment in which there is credible leadership and enforced rule of law. Strong, legitimate and effective public administration structures, responsive to the needs of ordinary citizens - including the poor – are a precursor to any sustainable development. To this end, UNDP supports Afghan electoral institutions so that they can become more effective vehicles for development. The UNDP Enhancing Legal and Electoral Capacity for Tomorrow (ELECT) project- phase I (2006 – 2011) provided technical and operational assistance to Afghan electoral bodies throughout the 2009 Presidential and provincial council elections and 2010 parliamentary elections. The ELECT II project commenced at the end of 2011 and comprises of long-term assistance to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of Afghanistan, focusing on institutional strengthening and capacity consolidation to encourage broader democratic participation. The overarching objective of ELECT-II is to support the national electoral institutions to plan and conduct credible future elections with minimal external support. Continuing long-term assistance through support to capacity building of national electoral authorities beyond 2010 is in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2041 (2012). This assistance is closely coordinated with UNAMA, UNDPKO and EAD. The three key outputs for ELECT II are: Output 1: Institutional, operational and technical capacity of the IEC is developed to ensure well organized, future Afghan-led electoral processes. Output 2: The quality of the voter registry is improved to support future electoral operations. Output 3: Capacity of the IEC is strengthened to encourage broader democratic Participation With regard to the Presidential and Provincial Elections on 5 April 2014 it is expected that the scope of work of the project will be amended in order to provide support to the upcoming elections in 2014 and the parliamentary elections planned for 2015. The Knowledge Management and Archive Advisor for the ELECT II project will help to capture and consolidate valuable organizational knowledge in order to facilitate the replication of good practices and learning during the electoral implementation period and beyond. The primary objective of the UNDP ELECT II Knowledge Management Advisor (KMAA) in Afghanistan is to assist the IEC with the planning, design, management and execution of an automated Knowledge Management (KM) platform required for large scale electoral operations. A strong knowledge platform will be able to create an invaluable information resources repository for the IEC. This repository will be able to guide the IEC’s future operations by ensuring proper storage/retrieval of all institutional information and files. Implementation of a Knowledge Management system will also help the election commission to take appropriate decisions based on the best available information and historic data which is essential for successful and sustainable conduct of elections. Besides the knowledge management system design and implementation planning aspects, the KMAA is expected to ensure proper procedures and systems are in place to ensure appropriate archiving of historic data related to the operations of the IEC. The Knowledge Management and Archive Advisor will be part of a team of advisors providing technical support to the IEC. S/he will work under the direct supervision of the ELECT II Senior Technical Advisor (Pillar 1) and in close coordination with the ICT Specialist, M&E Specialist, GIS Specialist and Technical Specialist (Electoral Information Management). ELECT II invites qualified international experts in this field to apply for this position.
