Preparing for Nigeria’s 2015 Elections: Key Challenges and Priorities

Monday, January 27, 2014 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Join us for the launch of the CSIS Africa Program’s Nigeria Election Forum series as we discuss the state of preparations for Nigeria's national elections in 2015 and the priority challenges ahead. Supported by the Ford Foundation, the series will bring Nigerian officials, civil society activists, and opinion leaders to Washington, D.C. to engage with U.S. policymakers and Africa experts on how best to ensure that Nigeria's upcoming elections are peaceful, credible, and free. Our first session will identify the big electoral roadblocks to overcome before 2015 and consider what the United States can do to support Nigeria as it enters a pivotal election period.
