This second quarterly progress report for the United Nations Electoral Support Project (UNESP) covers the period 1 April to 30 June 2019. The report is structured around the outputs outlined in the revised UNESP Project Document (ProDoc) as of July 2018 and the corresponding Annual Work Plan (AWP) for 2019. The project has two overall objectives:

• To build the capacity of the Afghan electoral institutions to implement elections in line with the national electoral legal framework and Afghanistan’s international commitments; and, 
• To allow a programming mechanism for the international community to partially finance the elections.
