What you need to know
The IFEX Council is made up of 13 positions. Each candidate has been nominated by their own organisation and endorsed by another IFEX member. Below you can find each of their presentations and bio summary.
When making your selections, please remember that there should be continuity across Councils and that Council should be, to the greatest extent possible, diverse in:
Gender
Regions
Ethnicity
Background
Experience
Competencies
Organisations must have paid their 2022 membership fees to be eligible to vote and may only vote once. Please find your personalised link to vote in the email sent from “Election Buddy” to make your selections.
