Student Profiles

Fatuma Silungwe

"The programme is designed in a way to be directly applicable to the work of an elections professional. I learn and test my new knowledge in real-time, and see the results".

Henry Atem Oben

"The broader view is what I find truly awesome about MEPA. There is no definition of democracy as American or democracy as South African. Democracy is not limited to a particular country, and this should always be borne in mind while selecting course materials".

Executive Director, United States Center for Electoral Support, USA
