OAS - Organization of American States

Objet publié

This project aims to support efforts by the Organization of American States (OAS) to build stronger, more efficient and transparent electoral processes and democratic institutions in the Americas. To this end, it strengthens the OAS’ capacity in the area of electoral support and provides funding to the OAS’ Electoral Observation Fund. This increases the organization’s ability to rapidly respond to requests for election observation and ensures that its election observation missions are professional and based on a sound methodology. The project is part of the Multilateral Election Observation Program. This Program uses a whole-of-government approach for Canadian support to multilateral election observation in developing countries. Its main objective is to assist developing countries in their objective to hold democratic elections in line with national and international election standards. Support for election observation contributes to strengthening the electoral process in developing countries.
