The EC-UNDP Joint Task Force on Electoral Assistance organized a joint photo exhibition entitled “The Power of Democracy” in the heart of Brussels from 20 February until 3 March 2018.
The overall goal of the exhibition was to demonstrate the importance and value of electoral processes world-wide and, more specifically, to highlight the breadth and reach of the EU-UNDP partnership in the field of electoral assistance. The exhibition showcased joint EU-UNDP projects and stories from Armenia, Guinea, Kenya, Lebanon, Liberia, Malawi, Nepal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, Zambia and Zimbabwe, with a specific focus on inclusiveness and the participation of women and youth.
Given the very positive feedback and a considerable interest by the public, the JTF is now considering replicating the event in more cities around Europe and in the countries implementing joint EU-UNDP electoral assistance projects.
