The West Africa Centre for Elections Network

Project Summary and Background

Under the Gorée Centre for Electoral Processes project, the Gorée Institute launched the first network of West African Civil Society organisations working in electoral processes on January 30, 2009. 15 West African civil society organisations agreed to establish a network to share best practices, develop capacities of their staff and increase the quality of civil society work in elections. This new network is called the West African Centre for Elections.

The steering committee is composed of seven member organisations out of which six have been already designated: West African Civil Society Forum (WACSOF), the Gorée Institute, the Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG) in Ghana, ADG in Burkina Faso, La Rencontre africaine pour la défense des droits de l'Homme (RADDHO) and REDEMEC Cape Verde. This centre will soon be fully operational, basing the coordinating secretariat at the Gorée Institute.

Our work

The Network is in the process of developing its areas of work and intervention. In the meantime it plays a key advisory role to the Gorée Centre for Electoral Processes
