To this end, the AAEA envisions itself as a continental platform of peers, where, through cross-learning, information-dissemination, resource-sharing, and technical assistance, African Elections Management Bodies (EMBs) are supported, challenged, and resourced to administer elections in their respective countries professionally, fairly, and cost-effectively.
Mission Statement
The AAEA exists to foster cross-learning, information-dissemination, resource-sharing, standard-setting, and technical assistance across EMBs in Africa; build capacities of member EMBs to administer free and fair elections in their respective countries; hold each other accountable to best practice in elections management; and wield an influential, global voice on elections.
