As part of its work in support of democracy and elections with integrity, the Foundation’s Electoral Integrity initiative convenes some of the world’s most respected elder statesmen and women, as well as the world’s foremost experts on electoral integrity. With the help of this unique network, the Kofi Annan Foundation works with countries on how to strengthen the integrity and legitimacy of their electoral processes and avoid election-related violence, so that elected officials can govern peaceably in a climate of trust.
