Swaziland political parties workshop

12 - 13 February 2007, Foresters Arms Hotel, Mhlambanyitsi, Swaziland

This workshop was part of the activities for Strengthening Political Parties for Sustainable Democracy in the SADC Region project, funded by the Embassy of Finland. The project covers Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa and Swaziland. The workshop was also attended by politcal parties and other stakeholders such as non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Swaziland. EISA ensured a balanced representation of political party structures by requesting them to nominate representatives from the youth and from women - a call which the participating parties heeded.

The workshop was officially opened by the Bishop of the Anglican Church of Swaziland, Bishop Meshack Mabuza.
