Democratic Governance

Our work under this thematic area is to protect and enlarge the space for civic engagement and accountable and transparent governance. Thus, the Democratic Governance Program seeks to support The Gambia’s transition to democracy by contributing to the quality of elections and political parties, enhance citizens’ engagement in national political processes, advocate for reforms and local governance for effective and efficient public service delivery. Our work specifically focuses on:

• Political parties and electoral integrity
• Decentralization and Rural Development
• Legislative engagement
• Civil Society
