Consultation regarding the hosting of the GEO resulted in the addition of SADC Electoral Commissions Forum (SADC ECF) as a partner and the decision was made to organize the Fifth GEO Conference in 2011. The acceptance of the Botswana Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) to host the event in Gaborone came in mid-September 2010 and resulted in the IEC becoming a partner in this event.

It is expected to bring together over 300 participants; funds permitting; from all global regions, EMBs, international organizations working in the democracy and electoral assistance fields, the academic community, donors and democratic governance policy makers.

    The Fifth GEO Conference will be one of the central global democracy events in 2011. It aspires to influence the global policy agenda and enhance practical understandings and solutions among policy makers and practitioners. The profile of participants and the vibrant discussions on a range of relevant topics will make this event memorable for all those who participate. The conference outcomes will, most certainly, maintain importance in years to come.
