OUR PARTNERS
The Sustaining Peace during Elections Project developed an inclusive research process that takes into consideration experiences and knowledge from a wide range of stakeholders.
The research process is applied to various research topics whereby the topics identified have the potential to negatively contribute or positively mitigate the potential for electoral violence. The aim of this topic-specific research process is to understand the main challenges in relation to the nexus between the topic and electoral violence and outline actionable solutions.
6 topics of focus for the prevention of violence during elections.

SELECT builds upon the UN and EU’s joint commitment towards multilateralism and the common policy priorities for conflict prevention, rooted in the EU’s Global Strategy and the UN’s Sustaining Peace and 2030 Agenda, in particular SDG 16 to :
“promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.”
For programming purposes, SELECT translates SDG 16 into five pillars: Accountability, Inclusion, Transparency, Capacity and Peace/Conflict Prevention.
By framing the areas of activities in line with these pillars, the approach shifts from an institutional to a thematic outlook, involving a range of different electoral stakeholders over a longer time span contributing to higher order results.
