The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) invites you to join our inaugural Annual Learning Forum - a public learning event scheduled from May 22-25, 2023 - to launch the Democratic Elections and Political Processes (DEPP) Learning Agenda. 

CEPPS is comprised of nonprofit, nonpartisan, nongovernmental organizations dedicated to advancing and supporting democratic practices and institutions around the globe. Through this collaborative partnership, CEPPS pools the expertise of international organizations dedicated to democratic development, including:  

Joint Venture Partners: 

• International Foundation for Electoral Systems 

• International Republican Institute 

• National Democratic Institute 

Senior Technical Partners: 

• American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative  

• Center for International Private Enterprise

The DEPP Learning Agenda, funded by a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) cooperative agreement, includes five core themes and fifteen associated questions. It has been developed to test the DEPP Global Theory of Change through a combination of research, evaluations, pilot programs, and ongoing democratic development interventions worldwide. 

CEPPS partners welcome you to join us to learn more about the DEPP Learning Agenda and validate the selected themes/questions. CEPPS will be hosting virtual opening and closing ceremonies, panel discussion webinars, and interactive virtual validation workshops by theme. Register for just one session or join them all through the event registration page!

Simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and French will be provided for all panel discussion webinars and will be provided online for the opening and closing sessions. Online validation sessions are limited capacity and will be conducted in English. Requests for reasonable accommodations should be sent to info@cepps.org by May 17th.
