DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
Local NGOs (the ONGD/OJED and UJDS) in partenership with the Washington based International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) conduct a civic education program to inform the population about the principles of democracy and electoral procedures. The only election in the DR Congo's history was over 40 years ago. Much of the population has little concept of what democracy and elections really mean..Kinshasa, DR Congo. 06/07/2006.Photo © J.B.
