Why Our Work Matters…
Countries with democratic freedoms are more capable of fulfilling their citizens' potential.
Senegal is one of the few stable democracies in West Africa; however, weak checks and balances have historically undermined good governance. Assistance supports decentralization and development at the local level, promotes government-wide transparency and accountability, and supports electoral and political processes.
USAID'S DEMOCRACY AND GOVERNANCE PROGRAM IN SENEGAL AIMS TO:
- Strengthen democratic political culture and civil society by supporting the means through which citizens can freely organize, advocate, and communicate;
- Promote government institutions that are democratic, effective, responsive, sustainable, and accountable to citizens;
- Ensure that elections are competitive and reflect the will of an informed citizenry; and
- Advance and protect individual rights and promote societies in which the state and its citizens are accountable to laws.
