In Pambazuka News issue 103 you reproduce a copy of the article 'Landmark elections in Burkina Faso' of which I am co-author with Mr. Carlos Santiso. In your introduction you mention the International Centre for Democratic Governance (ICDG) at the University of Georgia (2002). ICDG has not been involved with the Center for Democratic Governance (CDG) so far. As Director of the Center for Democratic Governance, I would like to clarify that the CDG has been established with the support of International IDEA, an intergovernmental organisation with 22 member states from all over the world with a mandate to promote democracy worldwide and with which the CDG remains working in close partnership since 1996.
