Dialogue Fiji Empowers Women and Youth for Local Government Elections

On 21 February 2025, Dialogue Fiji successfully conducted a Follow-Up Training Programme for Women and Youth Prospective Election Candidates in the Central Division, preparing them for the upcoming Local Government Elections.

The training featured a presentation by Mr. Arnold Chanel on Social Media Campaigning, a mock voting exercise facilitated by the Fijian Elections Office (FEO) to familiarize participants with polling station procedures and ballot handling, and a reflection and Q&A session to address key concerns.

Participants gained practical insights into the electoral process, enhancing their readiness for political engagement.

Dialogue Fiji expressed gratitude to the FEO and Mr. Chanel for their valuable contributions and thanked all participants for their commitment to strengthening democratic participation.

The programme was funded by Misereor, supporting efforts to empower women and youth in Fiji’s political landscape.
