Political Parties

“This guide is intended to provide practical insight into political party development programming. Like earlier editions, it attempts to address why political party development is important, how party programs can be conducted and how to tailor projects to specific political environments. In addition, this third edition reflects some of the more recent trends in the Institute’s political party development work. These include an increased emphasis on tailoring assistance to the individual needs of political parties operating within the same political context as well as greater use of guided practice to achieve more sustainable results and impact. Incorporating public opinion research and information communication technology have also become stronger focus in programs, as have policy development, caucus strengthening.”
