Liberia Elections and Political Transitions (LEPT)
The objectives of the Liberia Elections and Political Transitions (LEPT) program are to help ensure: (1) The National Elections Commission (NEC) demonstrates capacity to perform essential functions related to election administration; (2) NEC develops, maintains, and pro-actively manages, key relationships; (3) Civil Society Organizations deliver countrywide civic and voter education (CVE) around critical electoral issues. Funds will be used to achieve specific results including helping to ensure that: (1) Liberian election officials are trained on technical elections issues; (2) over 100 electoral stakeholders, including political party representatives and civil society actors, are trained on elections regulations and processes, and (3) 500,000 individuals are reached via CVE outreach activities.
Provide assistance that enables citizens to select and replace their leaders through periodic, inclusive, accountable and free and fair elections. This includes support for legal and regulatory frameworks, open and effective election administration, broad public participation and civic awareness, societal oversight of electoral processes, and accountable procedures for election-related grievances and appeals. Establish legal and regulatory frameworks that protect the freedom of association and assembly and that promote an enabling environment that protects and promotes civil society and citizen participation. This includes but is not limited to ensuring that legal frameworks enable CSOs to form and operate freely, promoting the sustainability of the CSO sector (e.g., philanthropy and tax concessions for CSOs, access to resources, volunteering), and supporting public participation around changes to legal frameworks and their implementation (e.g., public hearings, instructional seminars, and conferences). This aspect also includes strengthening advocacy, networks, grassroots coalitions, and public support for reforms related to the enabling environment for civil society. This does not include funding for activities carried out by civil society related to Rule of Law, Human Rights, or Political Competition, which are captured by areas DR.1.2 Culture of Lawfulness, DR.1.5 Fairness and Access to Justice, and DR.3.3 Political Parties.
