This project supports the objectives outlined in the Government of Sierra Leone’s National Development Plan 2019-2023. It aims to enhance the institutional capacity of key election management bodies, the judiciary and the police, to implement and oversee the 2022-2023 electoral cycle. It seeks to enhance transparency and inclusion by ensuring that all stakeholders, particularly women, youth, and persons with disabilities, are engaged throughout the process. It also aims to allow them to assess and verify the credibility of electoral processes in an independent manner. Project activities include: (1) providing capacity building and technical support to state institutions to establish a credible and accurate voter register, strengthen electoral dispute resolution mechanisms, and ensure a peaceful and orderly vote; (2) promoting public awareness and engagement through electoral and civic education and enhanced collaboration with the media to ensure reliable information is shared; and (3) working with state institutions, civil society organizations and independent commissions to ensure women, youth and persons with disabilities are more actively involved, engaged and represented throughout the electoral process.
