Expanding Beyond
The Borders of Ghana

CODEO is a founding member of the West African Election Observers Network (WAEON), a sub-regional network of the largest citizen election observation groups in 11 Anglophone and Francophone countries in West Africa. WAEON envisions a West Africa that is democratic, where governments are held accountable through regular and credible elections and citizens effectively participate in the electoral process through professional observation of elections.

CODEO is a member of the Global Network of Domestic Election Monitors (GNDEM). GNDEM serves to bring together citizen observation efforts from around the world. As part of its effort to enhance citizen observation, GNDEM developed a "Declaration of Global Principles for Non-partisan Election Observation and Monitoring by Citizen Organizations" that provides best practices for citizen observation.

CODEO provided technical support to civic election watchdog groups and other bodies in several African countries.
