The
International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) opened a training on
monitoring and assessing work of the Strategic Plan 2019-2022 and drawing plans
at the Union Election Commission (UEC) in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday. In his opening
address at the opening ceremony, Chairman of UEC U Hla Thein called for
cooperation of the sub-election commissions, ministries concerned, political
parties and civil society organizations with the UEC to complete the tasks of
the Strategic Plan 2019-2022.
The
Strategic Plan 2019-2022 was drawn after seeking advice and suggestions from
the region and state sub-commissions, political parties and CSOs this year for
the 2020 general elections.
“Only
when we monitor the sector-wise processes, can we know
if the work can be completed in time and consequences of the implementation,”
said U Hla Thein. He also stressed the importance of cooperation and
coordination in implementing the strategic plan in holding the free and fair
elections in 2020 aspired by the people.
Following
his address, Ms. Pascaline Krone, Deputy Country Director of the IFES, and Mr.
Rakesh Sharma, Director of M & E and Survey Research, explained the
training programmes and discussed the monitoring and assessing the processes of
the 11 tasks included in the strategic plan. A total of 35 representatives from
the UEC and its sub-commissions are attending the twoday training.
