Why Election Observation Matters.

Podcast with Therese Pearce Laanela

Increasingly, elections that are fair, just and accessible to all cannot be taken for granted anymore. Hence, the role of election observers is becoming more and more important: Whenever an election is held, they are on site to report any irregularities or even fraud.

In our podcast, we talk with Therese Pearce Laanela from International IDEA, an intergovernmental organisation supporting and promoting democratic processes worldwide, about how their mission has changed in recent years due to digitalisation and the pandemic, and what democratisation aid means in foreign policy.

On a blue, green and black striped background inside a white circle is a woman illustrated in black and white. She has short, curly hair and wears glasses. Below her head it reads Therese Pearce Laanela in green lettering, above her in black lettering Die Kulturmittler Number 29. This is the cover of the 29th episode of the ifa podcast on culture and foreign policy with Therese Pearce Laaenela from International IDEA, an organisation that promotes democratic processes worldwide.
