While OSCE Partners for Co-operation have expressed interest in some level of involvement in the OSCE’s election-related activities, recent years have seen an unprecedented growth of the global democracy movement and the consolidation of democratic principles within the United Nations, as well as in a number of other regional organizations or frameworks. The ODIHR will therefore: u Consider possibilities for enhancing collaboration with Partners for Co-operation; u Create a programme to regularly deploy a small number of guest observers from OSCE partner countries, and funded through extra-budgetary contributions, as a capacity-building exercise; u Consolidate contacts with relevant international governmental and non-governmental organizations; u Reach out to the global development of democracy promotion and make OSCE expertise, in particular on election observation, available to other organizations. Such a programme would have to be established as a new activity, and would have to depend on the availability of extra-budgetary contributions. Overall, and wherever possible within the purview of the ODIHR’s mandate and resource allocation, measures are being taken to swiftly and continuously progress in these 12 areas; however, active co-operation with States is a prerequisite to maximize their impact.
