The ECC would benefit from independence in terms of its administration, funding, and organisational set-up. A clear separation should be maintained between funds for electoral assistance programmes and ECC funds. If a programme such as UNDP-ELECT remains in place, two separate committees should set up to provide dedicated technical assistance to the IEC and the ECC. These provisions existed in theory but were not applied by ELECT. Decisions taken regarding the ECC should not involve either the IEC or ELECT staff who are involved in supporting the IEC.
