Project name: Elections and Political Process

Start date: FY 1991

End date: FY 2003

Project description:
NDI assisted The Bulgarian Association for Fair Elections and Civil Rights (BAFECR) to develop its civic education and election monitoring programs. NDI enhanced BAFECR’s non-electoral efforts as a government watchdog, its programs to develop civic organizing skills of other Bulgarian civic groups, its election-related activities and its organizational management and fundraising capacities. IRI provided technical assistance and equipment support to the Union of Democratic Forces. Technical advice was provided to parliamentary party representatives on the issues of accountability to constituents in the legislative process. Later in the years both organizations implemented political process programs during this period. In later years, IRI continued party support and NDI addressed civic involvement in elections.

Implementer: National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) International Republican Institute (IRI) The Atlantic Council
