Select a country:IFES has supported democracy's emergence and consolidation throughout sub-Saharan Africa since 1989. From its start conducting a groundbreaking series of pre-election technical assessments, IFES' Africa program portfolio today features activities in elections, rule of law, civil society and governance.
Thirty-one of 43 sub-Saharan African nations have received assistance from IFES. IFES’ current sub-Saharan programs focus on third and fourth-generation elections, sustainable professional election administration, improved governance, post-conflict transition, the rule of law, political finance and electoral access for citizens with disabilities. Over the course of the 1990s, IFES witnessed the growth of a cadre of experienced local institutions, organizations and individuals, many of whom now hold an expanding partnership role in future IFES programs.
