The Young Champions Program of the NGO PLANE PEACE is an international and national program. It includes international summits and local programs including the “Peace Digital Elections” which includes a program of free expression, debates called “Intelligentsia”, training workshops, capacity building, videoconferences, E-meetings, E-debates, E-panels, competitions, sensitization etc. The objective of the project “Peace Digital Elections” which will end on December 31, 2020 is to promote peaceful, inclusive, participatory elections in 2020 in Côte d’Ivoire. Thus, on Saturday September 8, 2018 at 2:30 pm, at Felix Houphouët BOIGNY University as part of the “Peace Digital Elections” specifically the “Intelligentsia” PLANETE PAIX invited Mr. Giscard KOUASSI the UNDP Governance Program Specialist. During this program, the speaker presented a current topic that is of great  interest, namely “Electoral Integrity” and “Election Observation”. The “Intelligentsia” program recorded the presence of Mr. N’CHO Gérard of the State Secretariat for Civic Service, Representing the Director of Civic Service and Volunteering, Miss Careine Séri Trainee at the Ministry of Youth Promotion and Youth Employment and the General Director of RIMTEC, Mr. Marius BONY. The Participants did appreciate the program. In summary, the speaker pointed out that every young person taken individually must have a civic commitment, must learn about the election, learn about the legal framework in force, get to know the institutions involved in the organization of elections. In short, he invited all the youth, without exception, to take an active interest in and participate in the electoral process. Young people have to start by registering on the voters list and voting the candidate of their choice on the basis of a SMART and credible project and not according to the « candidate’s head », he added. They must help authorities thereby touching the root of the problem. Lastly, he stressed the necessary role of civil society, which he believes can and should attract the attention of the authorities before, during and after the elections in order to prevent all forms of violence. Finally, he congratulated and encouraged the initiative of PLANETE PAIX for the framework of free expression set up. The ceremony ended with a family photo around 4 pm.
