Regularly, an assessment needs to be conducted of the state of political parties in a country. This analysis is often necessary at the beginning of a political party development program and before the exact focus or target of the program has been determined. NDI’s political party team receives frequent requests for advice on how to conduct a political party baseline assessment and when it is appropriate.
This document is a framework for use when undertaking a baseline assessment of political parties. It provides advice on how to approach the assessment process and outlines a range of areas that should be probed in order to give a balanced picture of the strengths and weaknesses of all of the political parties. This framework document has been used in a number of countries already (including Morocco and Indonesia) and continues to be refined.
