Having identified a high level of low voter turnout in rural communities, South Saharan Social Development Organization is taking the initiative to execute Project 100-rural election drive in 108 communities across nine LGAs in Enugu state.
The Project’s LGA coordinators across the nine LGAs have engaged the town criers and duly briefed them on the scope of their assignment. The goal is to sensitize and educate the rural populace on the need to vote, increase PVC collection, and increase voter turnout.
The selected town criers would engage their communities over a ten-day period, consistently sensitizing the people to pick up their PVCs, where to pick them up, and vote.
The project would leverage IEC materials (flyers) in strategic places in the community and radio jingles to increase the message’s reach. The message is simple:
– Get Your PVC
– Vote
– Protect Your Vote
