The Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA), the
National Democratic Institute (NDI), and the Oslo Center would like to
invite you to a global report launch and a round table discussion to share
the recently developed set of community-level indicators which measure
citizens’ sense of inclusion and confidence in transitional processes.

Post-conflict transition periods offer a brief but critical opportunity to
build the legitimacy of emerging democratic systems and establish a
foundation for inclusive political processes and institutions. Indicators
of inclusion are vital, as policy makers can identify more precisely how to
create inclusionary processes and policies, but there are still significant
gaps in national and international policymakers’ understanding of citizen
priorities around inclusion.

The Citizen Inclusion and Confidence (CIC) indicators were developed based
on group consultations in various regions of Kenya and South Sudan and
verified using quantitative survey feedback on the draft indicators in
these same regions. The indicators were derived using a bottom-up method of
qualitative induction, through which clusters of statements were grouped
and categories post-capture into categories and concepts. The CIC
indicators were then developed based on these categories with the
assistance of the transcripts.

The meeting will introduce the research approach, highlight the findings,
share the indicators and discuss the research’s implication in political
transitions, particularly in Kenya and South Sudan where the research was
piloted. Through this meeting, we seek to have an improved bank of
knowledge regarding citizen priorities, needs, and expectations around
transitional processes.
