Burundi walk for peace.
Burundi
IFES most recently worked in Burundi from 2007–2008 while implementing a program to build the capacity of anticorruption institutions. Currently, IFES is providing targeted and strategic support to the principal Burundian stakeholders in the course of the 2009–2010 electoral cycle.

Civil Society
Civil society is the political “space” where citizens can debate, join groups, and mobilize for change without being threatened or intimidated. Legitimate governments can extend their legitimacy by being accountable to civil society, which is often the ultimate check on the abuse of power.
Education
Education addresses the voters' motivation and preparedness to participate fully in elections. It pertains to relatively more complex types of information about voting and the electoral process and is concerned with the link between basic human rights and voting rights.
Election Management
Election management covers the roles, functions, organization, financing, management of Electoral Management Bodies (EMBs). It focuses on the institutional structure of EMBs, their administrative infrastructure, the work they do, and their external environment.
