Overview

We are proud to announce our new partnership with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) to develop a series of five interactive eLearning modules to support senior electoral training managers worldwide. 

These modules will serve as companion components to IFES blended training courses, helping participants strengthen their skills in strategic planning, resource management, training delivery, and impact evaluation, all while balancing the demands of full-time work.

About IFES

Active in over 145 countries, IFES equips leaders with the tools and knowledge they need to run credible elections, broaden civic participation, and uphold democratic values.

This partnership with Riseup Labs takes IFES mission further by translating high-impact, in-person training into dynamic digital learning experiences that fit seamlessly into the busy lives of electoral managers.

The eLearning Modules at a Glance

Each eLearning module is designed as a 30-minute interactive experience that extends the learning outcomes of IFES in-person sessions.

Targeted at senior training managers, training department heads, and strategic leads within electoral management bodies, the modules prioritize:

  • SCORM-compliance and LMS readiness.
  • Mobile-friendly, low-bandwidth optimization.
  • Interactive videos, simulations, and reflective activities.
  • Custom branding and localization options.
  • Exportable resources for offline use (PDFs, templates, slides).
