International IDEA analysed the ongoing political transition in the country and deployed a mission to Gabon to help support the constitutional reform process.
The transitional authorities implemented some of the suggestions, such as unamendable provisions and provisions on duties to protect the constitution.
Moreover, International IDEA provided an induction session for 150 members of the Transitional National Assembly and of the Transitional Senate on the constitution-building process. The Institute also provided training on electoral risk management for 15 senior staff members at the Ministry of the Interior and Security’s General Directorate of Elections and for 15 representatives of civil society organizations. The training resulted in a risk analysis that outlined mitigation measures in preparation for the constitutional referendum that took place on 16 November 2024.
