The International Republican Institute (IRI) has been able to get politicians from both the government and opposition to work together to address a series of mechanisms aimed at strengthening Guyana’s electoral infrastructure.
The report of the Program Advisory Committee (PAC), comprising of politicians from the government and the opposition along with civil society members, will be presented sometime after November 15.
The PAC was birthed from more than six months of initial stakeholder consultations between May and October 2021. The PAC was established to demonstrate transparency, foster inclusion and ensure that program activities are driven by national stakeholders. From a sustainability perspective, the PAC offers an opportunity to build the habit among actors and stakeholders of listening to each other’s perspectives on electoral reform as a foundation for national action.
