Between Support and Sovereignty: Finding Balance in Donor-Funded Electoral Assistance
On 25 February 2026, UNITAR and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna hosted “Between Support and Sovereignty: Finding Balance in Donor-Funded Electoral Assistance.”
Drawing on more than fifteen years of field experience, international expert Adele Ravidà explored the political, institutional, and operational dynamics shaping donor–Electoral Management Body (EMB) relationships.
Participants learned how to navigate competing expectations, preserve EMB ownership and neutrality, and manage the diplomatic dimensions of electoral assistance in complex environments.
