USAID Guiding Principles for Electoral Assistance
Source: USAID | Year: 2024
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) recognizes that elections and other political processes are pivotal to the quality of a country’s governance. Elections can either greatly advance or set back a country’s long-term democratic development. While democracy is more than elections, meaningful democracy is not possible without elections that reflect the will of the people.
USAID’s Guiding Principles for Electoral Assistance are intended to enhance USAID’s support for democratic elections and political processes globally. Specifically, these principles help USAID:
ensure that its electoral assistance reflects and adheres to USAID’s values, as well as to global electoral assistance principles and best practices; and
take into account decades of lessons from USAID’s work, as well as the changing nature of electoral assistance.
