Get Involved

Join Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Tex.) and IFES for the sixth event of a briefing series exploring each element of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5, “Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls.” Join us as we hear from practitioners, organizers and researchers on how technology can engage and connect women; can help us gather data and act on violence against women; and should be considered by U.S. policymakers.

Join IFES and the United States (U.S.) International Council on Disabilities on January 9 for an event on “Promoting American Interests Through International Disability Rights: Recommendations for the New Congress.” We will hear from practitioners and advocates on how to promote international disability rights, ensure democracies are inclusive, and why these issues should be considered by U.S. policymakers.

Designing and implementing inclusive monitoring, evaluation, and learning (IMEL) processes is critical to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of identity, are meaningfully represented in democracy and governance programming and able to fully exercise their rights as citizens. Join IFES on November 20 to learn more about this integrated approach and promising practices in conducting IMEL.

IFES' Democracy Awards honor inspirational leaders with an unwavering commitment to building democracies that deliver for all.
