From 2 to 4 December 2024, a technical workshop was organised in Abidjan to discuss the implementation of the pilot phase for integrating the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance into Côte d’Ivoire’s school curricula.

The workshop was organised by the African Union with the support of ECES under the Pro-Electoral Integrity project, funded by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. It brought together approximately 50 participants, including experts from different African countries and representatives of Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Education.

The opening ceremony featured remarks by Ms. Joséphine-Charlotte Mayuma Kala, Special Representative and Head of the African Union Liaison Office in Côte d’Ivoire, as well as a keynote address delivered on behalf of the Minister of National Education and Literacy.
