The Institute of Democracy and Electoral Education (IDEE) will serve as the official training arm of the Fiji Elections Office (FEO). The FEO team, led by the Supervisor of Elections, Ms. Ana Mataiciwa, formally received the institution’s Recognition Certificate yesterday ( Tuesday – 04 March 2025) from the Higher Education Commission Fiji (HECF).
Ms. Mataiciwa emphasized that this achievement reflects the team’s unwavering commitment and is a product of a bold, forward-thinking vision. Since its establishment, the FEO has played a crucial role in training election officials, ensuring that elections are conducted fairly and smoothly. This training not only upholds public trust but also guarantees that elections are properly managed. With IDEE’s creation, there will be increased awareness and strengthened capacity for electoral education across Fiji.
The HECF team congratulated the FEO for this significant initiative and expressed their enthusiasm for IDEE’s future growth and positive impact in Fiji. As IDEE prepares to officially launch its programs later this year, HECF is committed to providing ongoing support to help the institution achieve full registration status
