Clean Money in Elections

Agreement Number:

7454079 P012269001

Agreement Value:

$2,285,879.00

Agreement Date:

Oct 15, 2023 - Nov 30, 2026

Description:

This project will address weak transparency of money in elections and politics (herein: political finance transparency) that prevents a level playing field for women candidates and enables undue influence in policy making, both globally and in six countries -namely Indonesia, Madagascar, Panama, Sri Lanka, Venezuela and Zambia. The project will increase 1) public demand for, 2) political engagement to regulate, and 3) technical innovations to monitor the transparency, equality and integrity of political finance.

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

Outcome 1 – Sustained public demand for transparency, integrity and gender equality of politi-cal finance. Political will is a function of public demand. This outcome helps build that, so politicians failing to address political finance transparency and impaired democratic contestation between men and women face credible consequences.

Outcome 2 – Greater political engagement to upgrade political finance transparency regulations that are conducive to integrity and gender equality. This outcome engages political actors from within and outside the government (opposition and ruling political parties, parliamentary committees). It supports them in reform-oriented and enforcement capacity-strengthening to level the playing field in elections and preventing undue influence of private money in politics.

Outcome 3 - Innovations for the monitoring and implementation of political finance with gender lens. This outcome shall address methodological and technological gaps in the design of solutions to i) monitor, ii) estimate, or iii) report and disclose income or expenditures by candidates, political parties and third parties. These solutions will capture the financial positions men and women have when par-ticipating in politics.
