Update from The International Foundation for Electoral Systems Nepal. 👏 🎉 We are excited to announce that five colleges (Janamaitri Multiple Campus, Central Campus for the Deaf, Thames International College, Lake City College and Research Center and King’s College) have launched IFES’s pilot course, "Democracy: from Theory to Practice". 🤗 This course is being offered for the first time in Nepal and the first time globally being offered in a college for the deaf. 🤩 This bachelor-level course has received an overwhelmingly positive response, with students demonstrating great enthusiasm and dedication to creating positive societal change through active engagement in the democratic process. All the students will be first-time voters. 📢 One more college will soon be launching the course. 🙏 We extend our gratitude to the Election Commission of Nepal and all our partner colleges for their collaboration and support in contextualizing and launching the course in the country. Together, we are working towards building a more #ResilientDemocracy, where #DemocracyDelivers and is truly #InclusiveDemocracy 🌟 #USAIDNepal, Janamaitri Multiple Campus जनमैत्री बहुमुखी क्याम्पस, Central Campus For The Deaf Naxal,Kathmandu, Thames International College Kathmandu, Lake City College and Research Centre, King's College

If you happened to tune in to NPR last night, you might have heard me talking again about the obstacles Venezuelans abroad are facing to participate in the upcoming elections. And it's not only out-of-country voting that is compromising the integrity of this process - abuse of state resources, unfair disqualification of opposition candidates, and media monopoly are also among the top concerns. You can listen to the segment here ↓ https://lnkd.in/dCiTqW2C
