Advisory/technical support and/or training to establish informal local electoral security coordination mechanisms that incorporate civil society, municipal councils, and traditional local leaders (such as tribe or minority representatives) to monitor risk, coordinate with HNEC and security providers on electoral security, and develop early warning mechanisms. |
