Monitoring election campaign finance: A handbook for NGOs
This Handbook supports civil society groups in tracking election campaign finances and exposing corruption.
Corrupt electoral campaign financing-whether by private donors or government incumbents commandeering state resources-is damaging not only to the electoral process, but to democracy itself. Political finance regulations, intended to create a level playing field for electoral competition, are often inadequate.
The Handbook provides a collection of good practices and tools, organised in the form of practical guidelines and discussions of key concepts, to assist NGOs in designing and carrying out effective campaign finance monitoring and reform programs tailored to needs in their own countries.
Moving beyond previous efforts in this field, which focus on campaign income and donations to parties and candidates, the Handbook also addresses campaign expenditures-another frequent area of corrupt behaviour-including the use or abuse of public resources by governing parties in electoral campaigns. Additional chapters offer guidance on the effective use of monitoring results and evaluation of monitoring exercises.
