Project Description
In 2010 Democracy International conducted field work for an evaluation of 17 political party assistance projects in Morocco implemented by the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and the International Republican Institute since 2003. These projects, totaling more than $12 million, were funded by USAID/Morocco, USAID/Washington, the Middle East Partnership Initiative of the U.S. Department of State, and the National Endowment for Democracy. The team conducted interviews with program implementers, civil society activists, academics, journalists, donor representatives, and other democracy and governance program implementers. It offered comprehensive recommendations to USAID on future political party programming.
