A similar training had been organized by EODS III in 2022, aimed at providing participants with knowledge and tools to work as an Election Analyst in EU EOMs. Election Analysts are responsible for assessing the performance of the election administration, including the preparations and conduct of the election process, which represents a significant part of the EU EOMs election observation work. Officials from the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) and the European External Action Service (EEAS) were also present and contributed to a fruitful exchange and discussion between the participants.
