It is better and more cost-effective to deploy ECONEC for credible elections than to deploy ECOMOG (the regional peacekeeping force) because of flawed elections... Election is a sovereign national responsibility of government. Development partners can only add value t the delivery of credible ad peaceful Elections.

“ECONEC as the umbrella body for all the Electoral Management Bodies(EMBS) in West Africa has done a lot in delivering on its mandate of promoting and consolidating democratic culture in the region through experience sharing, research, capacity building, and election observation, especially in the last two years. The various missions by ECONEC to assess the capacity of several EMB in the region has  further reinforced its efforts at engendering good governance and contributing to free, fair and credible elections in West Africa’’.
