The project will: * explore the challenges that are being faced by Commonwealth countries in relation to elections in the context of freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly; * use case studies to highlight how Commonwealth NHRIs have addressed these challenges; * produce a report which will support members of CFNHRI to fulfil their mandated activities; * be used to highlight the important role of NHRIs in promoting and protecting human rights. We welcome proposals that adopt a partnership approach. The successful contractor will be required to interview selected members in person, as far as possible. Therefore international travel is expected in the delivery of this project.
