African Election Observers Network

Kampala, Uganda

The African Election Observers Network (AfEONet) is one of the unintended outcomes of the 2nd global domestic elections observer’s forum in Brussels in September 2016, which brought together representatives of citizen observer groups from across the world.

It was established with the aim of creating a continental think-tank to guide the continent on a brand of democracy that is homegrown and benefits African norms and beliefs. The network was further intended to mobilise, organise, coordinate, and enhance citizen observation activities in the continent.
