Increased Trust in Electoral Processes (ITEP)

Activities address the longer term negative effects of the electoral system on the enabling environment by focusing on election law reform between election cycles; building the capacity of the election administration; building the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to provide oversight over election cycles, and increasing public awareness about election related issues and processes; and to address short-term electoral system issues during a particular election cycle by focusing on pre-election training and monitoring related to the 2012 Parliamentary election, the 2013 Presidential election, and, with limited resources, the 2014 local elections.
