The Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening (CEPPS) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan alliance dedicated to promoting democratic practices and institutions worldwide. Established in 1995, it combines the expertise of three organizations to deliver complex democracy, rights, and governance programming at scale for USAID and other donors, across diverse political contexts and regions. The consortium emphasizes long-term engagement with political parties, election management bodies, parliaments, civil society groups, and democracy activists, differentiating itself through sustained, relationship-based work rather than episodic interventions.

With field presence across Asia, Africa, Eurasia, Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and North Africa, CEPPS supports a broad range of democratic governance activities, including work with civic organizations, political parties, legislatures, and women’s organizations. It has conducted international election observations in numerous countries and has facilitated citizen observation efforts that mobilize large numbers of participants. Based in Washington, DC, the organization describes itself as a mission-driven, nonprofit entity operating under a joint venture that coordinates efforts among its member groups to strengthen democratic processes globally.
