Description
1) Objective
USAID is developing a new Regional Central Europe Democracy Support Program (or Program). The Program will promote, among other democratic institutions, the resilience of independent, non- governmental entities. For the purposes of the new program, Central Europe includes Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia. Given the overlap between strong democratic institutions and resilience against democratic erosion and foreign malign influence, this Program will also support U.S. government efforts to counter foreign malign influence in the region.
The program will seek to build renewed support for democratic norms and resilience to foreign corrosive influence in the political systems of the countries of the region by enhancing the capacity of civil society, social movements, media, political parties, labor, and other democratic actors to engage in oversight of governments and private sector entities, combat corruption, counter disinformation efforts, and operate freely. The program will focus on improving transparency and accountability, strengthening independent media, bolstering rule of law, strengthening political competition, improving electoral processes, protecting minority rights, and combating anti-Semitism and xenophobia. Central to this work will be creating an enabling environment for nongovernmental actors to operate freely and safely.
