STORY:
The Strategic Plan will be the baseline for the ongoing work by the Commission and
will provide the roadmap for the implementation of elections so as to attain one-
person, one-vote in 2020, the Chairperson of the National Independent Electoral
Commission (NIEC), Halima Ismail Ibrahim, said at the launch event in the capital.
The Strategic Plan, developed with the support of the United Nations Assistance
Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), will provide guidelines for all the activities to be
undertaken by the Commission and will be subject to periodic review.
The Plan lays out clearly how the NIEC intends to deliver its mandate over the
coming years, leading to universal suffrage, the Secretary-Generals Deputy Special
Representative for Somalia, Raisedon Zenenga, said at the launch.
The UNSOM official added that the UN was working closely with donors to finalize
the programme for the next stage of the world bodys electoral support for the East
African country. That programme is expected to focus on essential steps to be
undertaken in 2018.
The NIEC will travel in the near future to all the Federal Member States, where we
will visit four main towns, [and] consult with all stakeholders, in order to achieve
free and fair one-person-one-vote elections, NIECs Chairperson added.
At todays event, the NIEC also launched the Somali Lexicon of Electoral
Terminology, a glossary of terms in English, Somali and Arabic languages, which
harmonizes the definition of 481 key electoral terms.
Speaking at the launch, the Federal Minister of Planning, Jamal Hassan, noted that
the Strategic Plan was derived from constitutional principles, in line with the
countrys National Development Plan and the Constitution, and commended the
NIEC for both the roadmap and the glossary.
