South Saharan Social Development Organization, SSDO, participated in the 2-day training of election observers organized by ActionAid Nigeria in Enugu to build the team’s capacity and empower them with the needed skill and knowledge to observe the upcoming general elections effectively.
The aim of the training is to empower election observers to take democratic actions in the general elections and improve citizens’ election observation capacity towards promoting good governance.
The training covered details of the electoral amendment bill, electoral guidelines, Nigeria’s political economy, observers checklist sections, election observation toolkit, and how to use the ‘i-observer’ app developed by ActionAid for the election observation.
After the training, SSDO organized a 2-day step-down training for election observers in the three communities where the Local Rights Programme, LRP, is being implemented in Enugu state. Udochukwu Egwim, Head of Programs, Priye West, LRP Officer, and Perpetual Njoku, Child Sponsorship Officer, facilitated the training.
