The Voter Outreach for Transparent Elections (VOTE) Fiji project is working to reinforce the Fijian Elections Office (FEO) by improving transparency, fostering civic awareness, and implementing a more robust gender-sensitive approach. The project is designed to contribute to the establishment of a representative and inclusive democracy, addressing societal and cultural barriers that hinder effective electoral processes. Building upon successful collaborations observed during the 2022 General Election, the project strategically aligns with the United Nations Development Programme’s (UNDP) Pacific Strategy, emphasi sing gender equality and peace.

The electoral landscape in Fiji confronts persistent structural challenges that hinder the reali sation of a genuinely representative and inclusive democracy. These challenges underscore the necessity for sustained collaborative efforts aimed at overcoming societal and cultural barriers, with the overarching objective of cultivating a more transparent and participatory electoral process.

The Project has four Fiji specific outputs:

• Advanced Civic and Voter Education for Heightened Public Engagement, Participation, and Trust.
• Improved Civic Education Election Curriculum Fostering Youth Knowledge and Understanding.
• Enhanced Operational Templates for Improved Election Efficiency, Confidence, and Transparency.
• Strengthening ESAG: Elevating Election Security, Collaboration, Preparedness.
• This Program and Project align with the UNDP Multi-Country Program Document (2023-2027) Strategic Plan outcome, “No-one left behind,” which centers on equitable access to opportunities and a rights-based approach to ongoing human agency and human development. The project’s outputs directly contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF), Country Program Document (CPD), and Regional Programme Document (RPD).
