This $1,500,000 Cooperative Agreement award from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas (CFDA 98.001) program is intended to provide the Bureau and USAID Missions with a better understanding of the impact and emerging approaches to legislative strengthening programming. The prime recipient, the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS), will leverage its sub-recipients the International Republican Institute (IRI), International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), and National Democratic Institute (NDI) to deliver a range of technical assistance and capacity building services focused on supporting democratic transitions, strengthening electoral processes, and promoting civic engagement in countries worldwide. Key activities will likely include election monitoring, voter education, civil society development, legislative engagement, and programs to increase political participation among marginalized groups. This 5-year award, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to August 31, 2029, demonstrates USAID's commitment to advancing democratic governance and political participation globally through targeted legislative strengthening initiatives.
