Funded by USAID, the PACE Project was implemented by CEDPA, Global Rights (formerly the International Human Rights Law Group) and the Institute for Democracy in South Africa. The project goals were to assist civil society in elections and election reform, constitutional reform, transparency and accountability, and conflict management. During the local, state and national elections in 2003, PACE worked closely with citizen groups to promote participation in the electoral process. PACE also laid the foundation for greater transparency and accountability in government. One major achievement of PACE-supported civil society groups and networks is the passage of the Freedom of Information Bill by the House of Representatives, which has been hailed by Nigerians as a critically needed reform. This report provides a complete dissemination of the activities, success stories, challenges and lessons learned from the PACE Project.
