USAID/WASHINGTON IN SUPPORT OF USAID/SUDAN ISSUED A REQUEST FOR TASK ORDER PROPOSAL (RFTOP) FOR SUDANESE ELECTION ADMINISTRATION. THE RFTOP WAS ISSUED TO ALL IQC HOLDERS UNDER THE ELECTIONS AND POLITICAL PROCESSES IQC. THE PURPOSE OF THIS TASK ORDER WILL BE TO SUPPORT TECHNICALLY SOUND ADMINISTRATION OF HISTORIC SUDANESE ELECTORAL PROCESSES CALLED FOR IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PEACE AGREEMENT (CPA) THROUGH: 1) STRENGTHENING THE CAPACITY OF ELECTION MANAGEMENT BODIES IN SUDAN TO ADMINISTER CREDIBLE ELECTIONS AND REFERENDA; AND 2) PROVIDING ELECTION-RELATED COMMODITIES NEEDED TO ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THESE KEY POLITICAL PROCESSES. WITH CRITICAL IMPORTANT GENERAL ELECTIONS AND SELF-DETERMINATION REFERENDA EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE CPA INTERIM PERIOD (ENDING JULY 2011), THIS ELECTION ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM WILL REPRESENT A CENTRAL COMPONENT OF USAID/SUDAN EFFORTS TO ASSIST SUDAN'S LEADERS IN FULFILLING THE CPA AND LAYING A FIRM POLITICAL FOUNDATION FOR THE COUNTRY'S FUTURE.
