The European Union Support to Democratic Governance Programme EU-SDGN in its effort to enhance gender and disability inclusion in Nigeria’s electoral process has supported the training of desk officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
A statement by the EU-SDGN’s public affairs office today said the training aimed to develop a comprehensive training manual for INEC inclusivity officers to effectively address and manage gender and disability-related issues that may arise during elections.
The three-day workshop held in Abuja provides an opportunity for relevant stakeholders to review INEC’s inclusivity manual and identify gaps and areas of improvement.
Speaking during the workshop, the Director of the Gender and Inclusivity Department, INEC, Lakunuya Bello, stated that the workshop is timely and important, as it would help the Commission to discharge its mandate to promote free, credible, transparent, and inclusive elections across the country.
