Yiaga Africa is pleased to announce the Reflection Conference on Strengthening Democratic Processes in West Africa: Lessons from the 2024 Elections and Prospects for Future Elections, set to take place on 25th–26th February 2025. This two-day regional conference will bring together key electoral stakeholders from across West Africa to review the 2024 elections, discussing both the challenges and successes observed throughout the region. With a focus on identifying lessons learned and best practices, the conference aims to foster meaningful discussions on enhancing electoral integrity, citizen participation, and the overall democratic framework across the region.
Recent elections in countries like Nigeria and Liberia have highlighted significant issues, including electoral malpractices, political interference, and security concerns. However, there have also been positive moments, such as peaceful transitions of power in Senegal and Ghana. The conference will provide a platform for exploring these successes, while also addressing the ongoing challenges of electoral reform in West Africa. Experts and stakeholders will engage in in-depth discussions, offering recommendations and strategies for improving future elections in the region.
This event promises to be a vital space for sharing knowledge, collaborating on solutions, and driving forward electoral reform.
