Introduction to Election Administration in Sudan

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES) have organized two BRIDGE “Introduction to Election Administration” workshops. These workshops are part of the EU funded project: “implementing a BRIDGE strategy and training on leadership and conflict management skills for electoral administration (LEAD) in Sudan”. The first workshop took place from June 9 to 13, 2013 and the second one was from June 16 to 20, 2013. Both workshops were held in Khartoum, Sudan. Participants came from different departments of the Sudan’s NEC covering most of Sudan’s states.
