The overall objective of the campaign is to strengthen
the democratic political culture in Namibia and to promote acceptance
by both citizens and political elites of a shared system of democratic
norms and values. Therefore it will be important to increase public
awareness of, and informed participation in, the political process;
specifically to increase public awareness of key democracy principles;
of the rights and responsibilities of citizens in a democratic system;
of the importance of broad and continuous citizen participation in
democratic processes, including in particular, the upcoming local
and national elections; of key issues relevant to the respective elections;
and, to the extent that impartiality can be assured, of the political
platforms of the respective parties.
Voter apathy is not only due to a lack of information needed for informed
participation, but also because campaigns in the past have not fully
addressed key issues and concerns of Namibian society. |

| Outcomes of this project would ideally include enhanced
awareness of problematic issues pertaining to a democratic society
and solutions thereof by the public, increased communication between
the elected and their electorate, an understanding of the Namibian
public's involvement on all levels and ultimately a stronger, vibrant
and active civil society. |
