Democratic Development

The Democratic Development program at the Centre for Peace and Development Initiatives (CPDI) is committed to fostering democratic principles through a focus on transparency, accountability, and civic participation. CPDI's key initiatives in this area include election watch, legislative watch, and strengthening local governments. The program works to ensure that electoral processes are free, fair, and transparent, enabling citizens to actively participate in shaping governance. Through legislative watch, CPDI monitors parliamentary performance and promotes the adoption of laws and policies that uphold democratic values. Additionally, the program emphasizes the importance of empowering local governments to improve service delivery and citizen engagement at the grassroots level. By advocating for reforms and capacity-building, CPDI aims to create a robust and inclusive democratic system that serves the needs of all citizens.
