The goal of three "NIETTI" elections is to identify, reinforce, and create opportunities to strengthen the accountability, transparency, and integrity of Senegal's electoral process.

This program description reflects USAID's commitment to local ownership and self-reliance by incorporating direct input from the National Political Dialogue, the Direction Générale des Elections within the Ministry of Interior, civil society, and other donors. It builds on past USAID electoral assistance for the 2019 presidential elections, the 2019 DRG assessment, and USAID's recent audit of the voter registry.

This activity will support the mission's Development Objective (DO) 3 in the current Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS): increased GOS effectiveness and accountability. Under DO 3, USAID aims to support the Government of Senegal (GOS) so it is more effective and accountable, and strengthen civil society so that the Senegalese people can more effectively articulate their needs and advocate for themselves.

The development hypothesis is that if the GOS improves the political, economic, and judicial governance environment, if civil society and media influence increases, and if local governance and community engagement is more inclusive, then the country's political and social stability will be strengthened. This will result in the more efficient management of public resources toward improved service delivery and a citizen-centric approach to governance.
