Partners explain how the NIMD programme in Zambia is helping to bring about constitutional reforms.

Constitutions are the most important documents for the functioning of states. The quality of democracy is therefore intricately linked to the way in which the constitution is written.

Without more accountable governments and better performing political systems, the international endeavour to deliver on the Millenium Development Goals is destined to fail. Facilitating the political reforms necessary to make democracies perform better is NIMD’s core business.
