AT A GLANCE
The project aims to provide comprehensive support to Guinea during a decisive phase marked by the organisation of an electoral referendum, followed by legislative and presidential elections.
It is based, on the one hand, on strengthened support to civil society organisations. Capacity building, training of engaged young leaders, and the provision of grants to civil society organisations (CSOs) will enable them to fully play their role in informing citizens, relaying their concerns, and monitoring institutions. On the other hand, support to electoral stakeholders through technical assistance and grants will help strengthen civil society’s ability to draw lessons from the initial electoral processes and to sustainably fulfill its role in the organisation and proper conduct of electoral processes. Finally, the establishment of dialogue frameworks will promote exchanges between citizen voices and institutional representatives, ensuring a peaceful climate and preventing tensions and violence during this period.
OBJECTIVES
The project aims to strengthen civic participation and inclusive democratic governance in Guinea by building a more resilient, coordinated, and effective civil society. Specifically, it aims to:
- Enhance the technical, organisational, and financial capacities of civil society organisations, including their ability to operate in a constrained civic space and evolving political context.
- Improve territorial and sectoral coordination among civil society organisations by promoting networking, information sharing, and joint actions based on citizen priorities.
- Promote citizen journalism and inclusive multi-stakeholder dialogue that amplifies citizen voices and strengthens engagement between civil society and institutional actors at the national and regional levels.
