Supporting civic capacities and engagement for strengthening electoral integrity and democracy in Guyana

The project "Supporting civic capacities and engagement for strengthening electoral integrity and democracy in Guyana" aims to contribute to the holding of credible and well-organized elections. Its purpose is to strengthen civil society implementing partners to effectively support and monitor electoral processes. It also seeks to train and inform civil society implementing partners about the electoral process in a clear, transparent, and efficient manner, using materials approved by the Guyana Electoral Commission (GECOM). It will also support partners in the signing of codes of conduct by political parties and movements; these codes frame the design and behavior of electoral actors during campaigns and actively prevent disinformation and election-related violence.

The beneficiaries of this project are Guyanese citizens, including youth, women, first-time voters, the elderly, the Indigenous population, persons with disabilities, and the general voting population.
