Guinea-Bissau: Priorities for long-term stability
Constitutional and electoral reforms are needed to prevent a new crisis after the March 2019 elections.
The legislative election slated for 10 March 2019 in Guinea-Bissau is a promising step towards political stability. But institutional reforms are needed to achieve long-term stability. To this end, dialogue is required to define priorities and create favourable conditions for reform. At the same time, Guinea-Bissau needs the backing of regional and international partners, who should frame their support in terms of a long-term vision.
