As the Republic of Malawi prepares for the General Elections on 16 September 2025, the Department of Political Affairs, Peace and Security (PAPS) has deployed an African Union-led Technical Assistance Mission to Malawi for the initial round of activities, which includes workshops on election risk identification and initiatives to protect elections from gender-based discrimination, scheduled for 16 to 18 June 2025. These two training sessions will enhance the capacity of over 50 Commissioners and Senior Staff of the Malawi Electoral Commission, along with key electoral stakeholders.
