\nUNDP and its partners are providing assistance to make the field offices of the elections commission (CENI) operational.<\/strong>
\nOn 31 March 2017, the 87 newly nominated members of the CEPI (Commissions Electorales Prefectorales Independantes) and the CESPI (Commissions Electorales Sous-Prefectorales Independantes) took an oath in Kankan, Guinea.
\nThese field branches of the CENI (Commission Electorale Nationale Independante) will play a key role in organizing the next communal and local elections.
\nThrough the PACEG (Projet d\u2019appui au cycle electoral de la Guin\u00e9e) UNDP, in partnership with the European Union (EU) and additional funding from Japan and France, is continuing to support the electoral process beyond the presidential election held in October 2015.
\nAs part of that support and at the request of the CENI, the PACEG will, among other things, provide technical and material assistance to the CENI field offices.
\nThe technical assistance will consist in deploying United Nations Volunteers (UNVs) to the various offices of the CENI. Nine international electoral experts specialized in logistics and electoral operations have already arrived in Guinea.
\nThey have been deployed in the eight regions of the country, where they will remain at least 6 months to support the branches of the CENI.
\nAyouba Moumi\u00e9 Mbouombouo, from Cameroun, is one of these experts.
\nHe studied at the Kofi Annan University in Conakry and is enthusiastic about serving in Guinea:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very pleased to return to Guinea which I consider as a second home. It is of great importance to me to be part of the team that assists the Independent National Electoral Commission in strengthening and consolidating democracy by setting up local elected representatives, credible elections in line with international standards”.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to the 9 international UNVs specialized in logistics and electoral operations, the PACEG will soon recruit 38 national UNVs who will be deployed within the CESPIs and CECIs in the 33 prefectures of the country and the 5 municipalities of Conakry.
\nWith regards to the material assistance, the PACEG responded positively to the request of the CENI and provided the CESPI with computer equipment so that the Commissions can carry out their mission.
\nAbdoulaye Koman, Acting Chairman of the Court of First Instance who presided over the ceremony, commended \u201cour friends, especially the UNDP and the partners, who are sparing no efforts for democracy [in Guinea]\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

The PACEG (Guinea Electoral Cycle Support Project) aims at providing assistance to strengthen the organizational, technical, financial and operational capacities of the main Guinean stakeholders involved in the 2015-2017 electoral process.
\nThe objective of the actions proposed by PACEG is to enable a credible, inclusive and peaceful electoral process to be conducted in accordance with international standards through supporting electoral operations, civic education and communication, as well as strengthening national capacities for electoral processes management.
\nThe project is funded by the European Union (EU), Japan, France and UNDP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
