The European Centre for Electoral Support (ECES) and the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE) are engaged in a long-term cooperation programme funded by the EU and German Cooperation (Deutsche Zusammenarbeit). Through these means, ECES provides direct technical support to NEBE on multiple levels, including support to the Legal Department.
Within its constitutional mandate to conduct credible elections, NEBE is required to provide and disseminate to the relevant stakeholders all technical tools necessary for the electoral process. These also include legal documents, such as the Ethiopian Electoral, Political Parties Registration, and Election’s Code of Conduct Proclamation No. 1162/2019. For this reason, the NEBE decided to translate the Proclamation, originally drafted in Amharic to Somali language.
