We are honored to be implementing the USAID funded Kenya Electoral Voter Education & Electoral Conflicts Mitigation Support Program (ECCES).
About ECCES: The program supports civil society and youth to successfully participate in democratic processes; lead voter and civic education and implement local strategies to mitigate and prevent electoral violence.
The objectives of the program include:
▪ Prevention and mitigation of electoral-related violence by strengthening early warning and early response mechanisms.
▪ Capacity building of local structures, networks, and institutions to promote and advocate for peaceful elections.
▪ Promotion of inclusive civil society, youth and women-led voter and civic education while expanding opportunities for young women candidates.
▪ Increase participation and representation of women and youth in democratic processes – party primaries, during and after the general elections.
▪ Strengthening capacity and collaboration among county-based partners, strategic networks, and institutions in counties with highest risk of violence and political manipulation.
