NICE BY-ELECTION SITUATION ROOM IN PROGRESS
During the By- Election currently under way, NICE is once again hosting the Electoral Situation Room which uses Masoathu early warning digital platform to ensure there is credibility in all this process. The NICE Masoathu platform acts like a “digital eye and alert system” during elections as our dedicated volunteers who are now roving observer watches what is happening on the ground recording and tracking incidences. This helps authorities respond quickly to issues in real time.
The Election Situation Room is being hosted with the support of the European Union (EU), the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the Governments of Ireland and Norway, and the United States Embassy in Malawi.
