The Governance programme began in Djibouti in 2005, with a pre-election assessment prior to presidential elections that year. Since that time, IFES has worked in the areas of electoral reform and decentralization. IFES’ work in Djibouti is funded by USAID.<P>Following the March 2006 local elections, IFES conducted a training session about decentralization for newly elected local officials and representatives from the central government. The workshop exposed officials to key concepts of effective and participatory governance. It also gave participants an opportunity to talk with each other and with key stakeholders in the decentralization process in order to begin prioritizing local concerns and identifying possible solutions. <P>The workshops received extensive positive media coverage on radio, on television and in print. |
