“I consider myself very fortunate to have had the opportunity of working with an agency like IFES. It gave me a chance to learn strategies to increase voter education, registration and engagement, with a particular focus on advancing gender equality in electoral politics. Because of my on-site coordinator and my on-site liaison, I acquired a good understanding of the organization and was able to network well with other organizations engaged in promoting democracy across the globe. I am confident that these connections will benefit my work in the future and provide the basis for a long-lasting relationship between IFES and the Election Commission of Pakistan.”
