You decide to fund local Mycan pro-democracy groups to monitor their own national elections.
This will empower civil society and strengthen the country’s democracy. In doing this, you will further develop your relationship with the leader of the opposition. He may be the next president, and even if he loses the election, he’s likely to remain an influential politician. You have the U.S. ambassador to Myca deliver the good news to the local organizations.
Your next call is to the USAID administrator, telling her to start delivering the U.S. humanitarian aid contributions to Myca.
— Director of the Carter Center’s democracy programsImpartial election observers play an important role. They make sure people can vote free of interference or intimidation.
— USAID logistics officerWe’re going to fly the aid packages into Myca. That’s faster than transporting them by ship.
— Joint public statement of the president and opposition leaderWe are grateful to the United States for helping resolve the election stalemate. May the best person win.
