This involved support to increasing democratic representation of women and youth, raising people’s awareness through civic/electoral education, protecting human rights defenders and broadening the Catholic Church’s electoral observation activities. Since February 2017, we have increased our support to civic education and the training of additional independent electoral observers. In addition, we announced that funding would be made available to update the national electoral roll, if all parties were prepared to hold free, fair and timely elections. That offer remains on the table.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 13/10/2017 08:57:29 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
