Press Release: UN-supported resource centres open to all presidential candidates


Dili, 1 March 2012 -
The United Nations is hosting five resource centres where presidential candidates can access facilities to help plan their campaigns, hold meetings and get information on the election process.

"I hope the services offered at the resource centres will create an environment of equality among candidates and encourage open and tolerant election campaigning," said Finn Reske-Nielsen, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary General at UNMIT and UNDP's Resident Representative.
"In addition to these facilities, the UN is also providing training to help candidates develop positive campaigns and plan fair and peaceful election activities."
The resource centres are located in Ainaro, Baucau, Bobonaro, Dili and Oecusse. During the 2012 election period, candidates can use the meeting rooms, computers and photocopy machines.
The resource centres were made possible through the generous financial support of the governments of Japan, Sweden, Norway and Ireland.
