Citizen Monitoring Activities in Nigeria
A coalition of four prominent Nigerian civil society groups — the Federation of Muslim Women’s Associations in Nigeria, Justice Development and Peace/Caritas Nigeria, the Nigerian Bar Association and the Transition Monitoring Group — have come together to form Project 2011 Swift Count to monitor the election process and verify the official results, hoping that their independent effort will deter fraud and help restore public trust in the country's upcoming local, legislative and presidential elections.
