GPECS II - Africa

September 27, 2016

Elections in Africa, like elsewhere in the world, have become a powerful tool for democracy, accountability and, ultimately, human security. Numerous countries have managed to go through three or more consecutive electoral cycles and have introduced democratic elections not only as a mean to determine national, but also local and regional representation. In order to further foster the advancement of stability, peace, democratic values and sustainable human development in Africa, UNDP will continue, through its main electoral assistance tool ‘Global Project for Electoral Cycle Support’ (GPECS II), to strengthen national and regional electoral stakeholders. This 2-pager outlines the foreseen activities and outcomes GPECS II is envisaging in Sub-Sahara Africa between 2015 and 2017.
