IFES’ current program in Nigeria builds upon work that began with transitional elections of 1998-99, under which a newly established Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ushered in a civilian administration and a new era in Nigerian politics. IFES’ work in Nigeria has focused on building sustainable electoral institutions that ensure a free, fair, and transparent process. It has also grown beyond technical assistance in election management and election law reform, to encompass areas of electoral process development such as political finance reform, voter education curriculum development, access for citizens with disabilities, and many more. Over the coming 3 years, the program will seek to leverage gains in the transparency, credibility, and efficiency of the electoral process, and to extend development of the process into new areas.
