Background
IFES is an international, nonprofit
organization that supports the building of democratic societies. IFES promotes
democratic stability by providing technical assistance and applying field-based
research to the electoral cycle in countries around the world to enhance
citizen participation and strengthen civil societies, governance and
transparency. Founded in 1987 as a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization, IFES
has developed and implemented comprehensive, collaborative democracy solutions
in more than 120 countries. Since 2011 IFES implementing the General Election
Network for Disability Access (AGENDA) project, funded by United States Agency
for International Development (USAID) and the Australian Department of Foreign
Affairs and Trade (DFAT), in Indonesia.
The General Election Network for
Disability Access (AGENDA) is a creative partnership between the International
Foundation of Electoral System (IFES), disabled persons’ organizations (DPOs),
and election-focused civil society organizations (CSOs) in Southeast Asia. The
AGENDA network's principal objectives have been to promote election access in
Southeast Asia and ensure that access to disability-inclusive political
processes is on the human rights agenda of regional bodies.
The November 2018 launch of ASEAN’s
regional action plan for mainstreaming the rights of persons with disabilities
in its new regional development agenda may prove inconsequential if not
internalized by Member States through their own domestic policy making
processes. IFES’ SCANSEA project is designed to achieve the goal of “increasing
DPO effectiveness in advocating for government action to respect and promote
disability rights.” It will do so through three objectives: IFES will build the
advocacy capacity of DPOs and CSOs in ASEAN regional networks. Deepen their
collaboration with regional officials in promoting the regional action plan,
and support DPOs to build strong, cross-sectoral advocacy coalition for
mainstreaming the rights of persons with disabilities in national laws and
public policy.
