ECONEC ORGANIZES A TRAINING WORKSHOP FOR BRIDGE FACILITATORS (TTF) IN NIGERIA.
In keeping with its mandate to promote free, transparent and credible elections in West Africa, the ECOWAS network of Electoral commission (ECONEC), one of whose means of action is the implementation of capacity-building programs, is organizing a BRIDGE facilitators' training workshop (TtF) from August 20 to 31, 2024 in Lagos, Nigeria.
The workshop brings together training directors from election management bodies (EMBs) in ECOWAS member countries, electoral experts from across the West African region, staff from the ECOWAS Electoral Assistance Division (EAD) and the ECONEC Permanent Secretariat.
The aim of the workshop is to equip EMBs in ECOWAS member states with sustainable training capabilities, and to help develop an easily accessible pool of BRIDGE-accredited trainers in the West African region.
The workshop will follow the BRIDGE training methodology, which combines interactive discussions and practical group exercises. The various sessions will be interspersed with ice-breakers and reminders.
The ECOWAS Network of Electoral Commissions( ECONEC) is the umbrella organization for electoral management bodies (EMBs) in West Africa. The network was created in February 2008 to promote free, fair and credible elections. Its creation was inspired by the ECOWAS Declaration of Political Principles, which was adopted by the ECOWAS Conference of Heads of State and Government in 1991.
