INTRODUCTION The National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) is organizing a two-day retreat for Project 2011 Swift Count Partners on opportunities and potentials for further Project 2011 Swift Count PVT Election Observation in Nigeria. Project 2011 Swift Count was jointly implemented by the Federation of Muslim Womens Associations in Nigeria (FOMWAN); Justice, Development and Peace/Caritas Nigeria (JDPC), Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and Transition Monitoring Group (TMG). Bringing these organizations together to observe 2011 general elections reflected the religious and secular diversity of Nigeria. This proved very vital in enhancing the acceptability and credibility of election observation reports issued by the group. This was demonstrated by the overwhelming acceptance of PSC election observation reports and activities in the April 2011 general election. In achieving this collaborative fit, NDI issued a sub-grant to PSC; which commenced on the 16th of September. The sub-grant closed out on the 31st of August 2011. The retreat serves as another opportunity for both Project 2011 swift Count Partners and NDI to re-strategize and explore ways of further PVT election observation missions in Nigeria. To ensure the discussions are unbiased, professional and well coordinated; Mr. Machill Manidu Maxwell will be retained to provide consultancy service to NDI Nigeria as described below.
