I WATCH will support its partners with the needed technical and financial requirements to be able to monitor the elections. Each partner organization will receive 4 trainings relate to management and elections monitoring, online trainings through a dedicated E-learning; in addition to a mini-grant of 5000 dinars to be able to cover all expenses related to elections observation.
