About one hundred eighty Civil Society and Community-based Organizations are attending a one-day interactive forum to finalize a draft code of conduct.
The Director of Civic Education said the code of conduct will guide the groups in the delivery of civic and voter education messages for the 2011 elections.
Mr. Sam Cole told Star Radio members of the participating CSOs and CBOs will review the draft code of conduct to be adopted.
Mr. Cole said when adopted, the groups would be accountable to provisions within the code of conduct.
According to Mr. Cole, the civil society and community-based organizations will be accredited at the end of the one-day event.
Mr. Cole said the accreditation symbolizes an authority from the Commission for the groups to solicit funding from their partners in the execution of their duties.
He however warned the NEC will revoke the accreditation of organizations caught violating the code of conduct or distorting civic education messages.
