Where We Work

Americas

When the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) was founded in 1987, Haiti was one of the first countries where we developed programming. In the last three decades, IFES has continued to provide technical and professional assistance and empower underrepresented populations to equally participate in political and electoral processes, building democracy throughout the Americas in countries such as the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
