Description
This project aims to strengthen democracy by increasing the public participation of citizens, including among women and the most marginalized and vulnerable, through supporting free and fair elections in host countries. The project will foster the participation of Canadians from diverse backgrounds to observe elections and participate in electoral reforms around the world. Project activities include: (1) outreach and maintenance of a Canadian electoral roster, including recruitment and selection of a qualified, diverse and gender-balanced group of observers, specifically among Indigenous Canadian societies and racialized communities; (2) training, briefing and debriefing of a diverse community of observers, with an emphasis on women, Indigenous Canadians and racialized societies; and (3) participation to international electoral observation discussions, workshops and activities.
Description (French)
Ce projet vise à renforcer la démocratie en accroissant la participation citoyenne, notamment celle des femmes ainsi que des personnes les plus marginalisées et vulnérables, en soutenant la tenue d’élections libres et équitables dans les pays hôtes. Il favorisera également la participation de Canadiennes et de Canadiens issus de divers horizons à l’observation électorale et aux processus de réforme électorale à l’échelle internationale. Les activités du projet comprennent : (1) la sensibilisation et la gestion d’un registre canadien d’observatrices et d’observateurs électoraux, incluant le recrutement et la sélection d’un groupe qualifié, diversifié et équilibré entre les genres, en mettant l’accent sur les membres des peuples autochtones et des communautés racisées; (2) la formation, les séances d’information et les bilans destinés à une communauté diversifiée d’observatrices et d’observateurs, en accordant une attention particulière aux femmes, aux Autochtones et aux personnes issues de communautés racisées; et (3) la participation à des discussions, ateliers et activités liés à l’observation électorale internationale.
Expected Results
The expected outcome of this project is: (1) Improved effectiveness of multilateral organizations to gather, analyze, and report on the legitimacy of electoral processes in host countries, including in terms of gender equality, participation of underrepresented groups, and human rights issues both online and off (e.g. forced exclusion of women or minority political contenders or voters ).
Expected Results (French)
Les principaux objectifs du projet contribueront au renforcement des processus démocratiques et respectueux des droits, en particulier les processus électoraux dans les pays d'engagement, y compris en ce qui concerne l'égalité des sexes et la promotion des droits des communautés autochtones et racialisées. Les résultats plus immédiats du projet comprennent un nombre et une capacité accrus d'experts canadiens à déployer dans des missions d'observation électorale pour favoriser les processus démocratiques et électoraux.
