At the end of 2010, facing the need to develop a pool of referenced experts, ECES was built also on the bases of creating a Roster of Electoral Assistance of Experts with proven track record in electoral related field ready for rapid deployment to implement project according to EU values and EU procedures. The ECES Roster of Electoral Assistance Experts was established taking into account the accumulation of 20 years of knowledge, experience and network of the founders of ECES in different EU institutions and international organisations implementing electoral assistance and election observation. 

Despite the electoral field being is a niche in the development cooperation context, ECES Roster is very comprehsnive and accounting for ca. 1.500 persons including CVs of Project Directors, Project Coordinators, Finance and Operations Managers, Procurement experts and experts specialised in all steps of an electoral phases such as: Legal framework, electoral operations, electoral budgeting, voter registration, delimitation of boundaries, training and capacity development, civic-voter education, transmission of results etc... 

ECES has been providing support to different electoral stakeholders in the different countries where ECES has operated or is operating and one of the most important added value is ECES capacity to mobilise rapidly highly qualified expertise through its Roster. ECES procedure for the mobilisation of expertise is mostly based on the consultation of this Roster and exchanges with donors and beneficiaires as well as establishing Human Resource Plan for each project together with donors and beneficiaries. 

In all projects implemented, at the time of the submission of the project documents, Bios of the core team of experts to be mobilised are referred. During the implementation, the Roster is used for the provision of categorised experts matching the expertise needed and detailed ToRs, all forming a Human Resource Plan.
