Democracy flourishes when citizens trust that their voices are heard, their votes are counted, and their leaders are chosen through a fair process.
One of the most effective ways to ensure this trust is through election observation.
Observers play a crucial role in promoting transparency, accountability, and public confidence in electoral systems.
At the Orient Foundation for Social Justice and Civic Education, we recognise that observation is not just about watching, it is about protecting democracy itself.
Our Role in Promoting Observation
The Orient Foundation for Social Justice and Civic Education works to enhance the role of observation as a cornerstone of democratic governance.
Through our programmes, we:
- Train citizen observers to understand electoral processes, human rights, and impartial reporting.
- Collaborate with partner organisations to coordinate observation missions and share credible data.
- Conduct post-election dialogues to discuss observer findings and advocate for reforms.
- Promote civic education to help the public understand and support the work of observers.
Our goal is to build a society where transparency, fairness, and accountability define every election.
By involving citizens directly in monitoring their democracy, we foster participation and ownership of the electoral process.
