Working in Support of Credible Elections and Good Governance in Nigeria
The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room (Situation Room) comprising more than 70 civic groups is a broad platform of CSOs that serves as a melting pot of ideas, analysing issues and proposing changes and reforms in response to key developments and gaps in governance and electoral processes in Nigeria.
The Situation Room was set-up in 2010, ahead of the 2011 general elections in response to the need to enhance civil society coordination and ensure constructive and proactive engagement of the election process. The Situation Room emerged to maximize the various resources of civil society groups for information sharing, anticipating problems during elections and responding rapidly when they occur.
Since then, the Situation Room has continued to contribute to the improvement of the electoral process in Nigeria and has also garnered an important convening power providing a forum for interaction amongst stakeholders, officials of government and civil society.
The regular convening of partner organizations also provides a useful platform for information gathering and sharing, as well as a credible analytical platform to collectively measure, learn, coordinate and improve on challenges in the conduct of elections.
