“All the Voters Will Be Dead”: HIV/AIDS and Democratic Legitimacy and Stability in Africa
HIV/AIDS is ravaging sub-Saharan Africa, with infection rates as high as 36 percent. At the same time, most of these countries have recently begun the democratization process and have only nascent democratic practices and institutions. This research explores the connection between HIV/AIDS and democratic legitimacy and stability in Africa by focusing on five of the six most-infected countries on the continent: Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The results show that HIV/AIDS does have the potential to pose a major threat to democratic legitimacy and stability in the region due to three factors. First, cumbersome voter registration laws and the deaths of politically neutral civil servants who administer the elections increase the chances for electoral fraud. Second, the likely economic decline further imperils the chances of successful democratization, as positive links exist between economic development and democratization. Third, since those in their teens and 20s and the educated/professional classes have borne the brunt of the disease so far, their deaths will impinge upon the development of a vibrant civil society which can not only agitate for democratization, but also keep the government in check. The confluence of these three factors makes the impact of HIV/AIDS larger than any previously faced. This research demonstrates the need for aggressive, concerted efforts at HIV/AIDS prevention as a part of democratization programs, and how HIV/AIDS fits in with IFES’ four pillars.

Citizen's Awareness and Participation in Armenia (2001)
IFES conducted a national survey in Armenia between June 10 and June 22, 2001. Section I is the introduction, while Section II highlights the most important findings. Section III covers the source of information that is available to the public about political and economic issues and other topics relevant to enabling citizens to better understand the working of their democratic institutions in Armenia. Section IV describes attitudes toward basic social and political processes and institutions. Section V examines attitudes toward women’s participation in decision-making and the support for women’s rights in Armenia. Section VI describes actions that citizens have taken to effect political change, and provides reasons why others have not taken these steps. The next section, VII provides data on the general knowledge citizens have of their country’s political process. Section VIII, the conclusion, relates these findings to IFES’ Citizen’s Awareness and Participation in Armenia program.
