With IFES support, the Central Election Commission of Georgia (CEC) developed a draft Gender Equality Policy aimed at building the capacity of the CEC’s staff to create an environment for equal participation for women in the electoral process, ensuring its internal policies and practices support all staff, and developing relations with external stakeholders on gender equality.
The International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) 2016 Photography Contest showcases photos of elections and democracy from around the world. We encourage submissions of photographs of marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities, women, youth, and ethnic and religious minorities, among others. While democracy promotion is a subjective theme, photos that capture the essence of IFES’ core areas – Electoral Integrity, Participation and Inclusion, Accountability, and Women's Empowerment – are highly favored.
