Electoral integrity: ensuring rethoric reflects realities in African electoral assessments, EISA (2016)
Because the African Union (AU) and the regional economic communities (RECs) play a leading role in promoting democracy on the continent, the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA) felt it was important to review the role, work and impact of these intergovernmental organisations on the observation of and reporting on elections. This policy brief reviews current trends in election practices in Africa and the challenges that affect their integrity. It also proposes ways in which these intergovernmental organisations can better assess and promote the integrity of elections in their member states by enhancing their framework, methodology and relations with different stakeholders.
