Peer Learning Missions are a valuable mechanism for strengthening electoral management and democratic governance across Africa through the exchange of experiences, good practices, and institutional knowledge among Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs).
AAEA plays a central role as a continental platform facilitating cooperation, peer-to-peer learning, and professional collaboration between EMBs operating in diverse political and electoral contexts.
These missions contribute to knowledge sharing, problem-solving, networking, and institutional capacity building by bringing together election officials, commissioners, civil society representatives, media actors, and other electoral stakeholders.
Activities include high-level meetings, field visits, technical exchanges, document sharing, and monitoring and evaluation exercises focused on key areas such as election planning and operations, voter registration, election technology, election day management, voter education, electoral dispute resolution, gender and inclusion, and post-election review mechanisms.
Between 2022 and 2026, AAEA facilitated the participation of 50 African EMBs in Peer Learning Missions and EMB Continental Fora, namely institutions from Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, Mauritius, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia, Zanzibar, and Zimbabwe reflecting the growing commitment of African EMBs to cooperation, professional development, and the strengthening of credible and inclusive electoral processes across the continent.
