The International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) is an independent, non-governmental organization providing professional support to electoral democracy. Through fieldwork, applied research and advocacy, IFES strives to promote citizen participation, transparency and accountability in political life and civil society.
Since 1995, IFES has conducted a range of assistance activities to support the development of democratic elections and political processes in Georgia. IFES supported the country's institutions and citizenry in building democracy through improvements in election law and administration, civil society development, rule of law and good governance. IFES continues to work closely with election officials, political parties, media, educational institutions, and the non-governmental sector through each election cycle.
Through the framework of the United States Agency for International Development's (USAID) Strengthening Electoral Processes in Georgia project, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) invites locally (Georgia) registered NGOs to prepare and broadcast radio talk shows aiming at raising public awareness and understanding on gender issues as relating to political processes and political empowerment looking forward 2016 parliamentary elections.
