At a certification ceremony for the five staff at the NEC offices in Monrovia, 13 December 2022, the Co-Chairperson of the Commission Counselor P. Teplah Reeves said she trusts the ability of the personnel to use the knowledge to hold people accountable in the application of processes related to the unit’s functions.
The training was designed to enhance the capacity of the Commission’s M&E section in monitoring projects, utilizing statistical data collection software and analytical results-based report writing.
“M&E is strategic to development planning. Without data, it would be difficult to understand problems and find solutions,” said UNDP Chief Technical Adviser on elections Lenka Homolkova.
Ms. Homolkova noted that the training does not end at receiving certificates but must be applied to create space and a conducive environment that helps other staff in strategic planning, as the NEC prepares to administer transparent and accountable elections.
