Background

Democracy Reporting International (DRI) is a non-partisan, independent, not-for-profit organisation registered in Berlin. DRI promotes political participation of citizens, accountability of state bodies and the development of democratic institutions world-wide.

DRI has worked in partnership with Tunisian civil society organisations (CSOs) and political actors since the launching of its programme in Tunisia in February 2011.

DRI’s programme currently works on four main themes:

• Implementation of the constitution and other political-legal reforms: providing expertise to members of the National Constituent Assembly and supporting CSO advocacy
• Elections and electoral reform: Tailor-made support to two major domestic observation platforms in preparation of the parliamentary and presidential elections in 2014 and support to a CSO advocacy platform for the electoral framework
• Regional outreach on the constitution and local democracy
• Capacity-building on advocacy for reforms

The programme consists of two projects: “Supporting Civil Society Organisations and Political Actors in Elections and Institutional Reforms to Strengthen the Democratic Process in Tunisia (ENPI/2013/318-431)”, funded by the European Union and the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and “Accompanying Tunisia’s Democratic Transition III (631120, No. 81024849)”, funded by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. DRI’s work in Tunisia is implemented by seven local staff and led by an international Country Director. DRI is currently aiming to replace its outgoing Country Director, from October 2014.
