 <title>Sandra Pepera</title>
 <link>https://www.ndi.org/pepera</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Sandra Pepera is a career diplomat and international development professional. Before joining NDI as its director for Gender, Women and Democracy in 2014, she spent thirteen years as a senior officer at the UK&amp;rsquo;s Department for International Development (DFID), including leading programs in the Caribbean, Rwanda-Burundi and Sudan. Prior to joining DFID, Sandra spent time in British domestic politics; lecturing in political science and international relations at the University of Ghana; and as a political analyst in the Political Affairs Division at the Commonwealth Secretariat. She has a portfolio of skills and experience which include strategy development, political and risk analysis, diplomacy, general management and corporate governance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;Much of Sandra&amp;rsquo;s career has been spent working in or on transitional economies, focusing on the building of resilient and inclusive institutions. She led work on women and politics at the University of Ghana and in outreach public policy during the period of intense and unstable political transition in the early 1990s. This included participating in a program that supported the ANC Women&amp;rsquo;s League during South Africa&amp;rsquo;s transition from apartheid to majority democratic rule in 1993.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sandra is a member of the Cambridge Sustainability Leaders Network, the Royal Commonwealth Society, the Global Board Ready Women initiative, and the International Advisory Board of the Commonwealth Journal for International Affairs (the Round Table). She holds the Financial Times Diploma for Non-Executive Directors, and serves as a trustee for the pension fund of an intergovernmental organization.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Meles Zenawi, 1955-2012: Leader Left Indelible Mark on Ethiopia | Aug. 21, 2012</title>
 <link>https://www.ndi.org/node/19321</link>
 <description>&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;PBS Newshour&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2012/08/meles-zenawi-1955-2012.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;|&amp;nbsp;Link to story &amp;nbsp;&amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When he died in a Belgian hospital on Monday at 57, Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi left behind a country indelibly shaped by his life and career. The next few weeks of assessments and obituaries will determine how the past few years will be leveraged against the preceding 30...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chris Fomunyoh of the National Democratic Institute in Washington is not so sure. &amp;quot;Meles was very effective at curbing extremism in the Horn, curbing extremist forces like al-Shabab and others. Infrastructure was being developed. Gains were made to rebuild the country. So the West was probably giving him a pass when it came to democracy strengthening. It was a pity he didn&amp;#39;t combine both attributes.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;In an article for &lt;em&gt;Voice of America&lt;/em&gt;, Scott Stearns reports on how the death of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi will affect Ethiopia internally as well as the Horn of Africa at large. Meles is most known for playing an integral role in stabilizing relations between South Sudan and Sudan, particularly by providing peacekeepers in the troubled Abyeh area. Despite Zenawi&amp;rsquo;s legacy as a stabilizing force in a volatile region, many believe that certain conditions within Ethiopia will improve because of this political transition. Citing &lt;a href=&quot;/fomunyohc&quot;&gt;Chris Fomunyoh&lt;/a&gt;, NDI&amp;rsquo;s regional director for Central and West Africa, Stearns says that Meles &amp;ldquo;never found the balance between the growth of commerce and the expansion of civil liberties.&amp;rdquo; A spokeswoman from the State Department said that many in Washington hope Ethiopia&amp;rsquo;s new leaders will improve human rights.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a recent article in &lt;em&gt;Voice of America&lt;/em&gt;, Scott Stearns summarizes Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi&amp;rsquo;s controversial 20 years in power. Stearns notes his achievements, which included helping end the communist &amp;ldquo;Red Terror&amp;rdquo; of Menigstu Haile Mariam, stabilizing security efforts in the Horn of Africa and, most notably, his success in fueling economic growth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Meles will be remembered as a principal ally to the U.S. for his counterterrorism efforts, Stearns cites criticism from both the State Department and Amnesty International on his human rights record, including a current report that mentions Meles&amp;rsquo; use of torture, abuse and mistreatment of detainees by security forces.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;He did a lot to stabilize the country and the Horn of Africa,&amp;rdquo; said &lt;a href=&quot;/fomunyohc&quot;&gt;Chris Fomunyoh&lt;/a&gt;, NDI&amp;rsquo;s regional director for Central and West Africa, in an interview for the article. &amp;ldquo;But he&amp;rsquo;s also left a very questionable legacy in regard to human rights, respect for the media, freedom of the press, respect for the opposition and creating political space in Ethiopia.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stearns explains, &amp;ldquo;reflections on the death of Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi are as mixed as his legacy.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a piece for PBS NewsHour, Ray Suarez writes about Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi&amp;rsquo;s recent death at age 57 and the pivotal role he played in the country&amp;rsquo;s development. Suarez noted that &amp;ldquo;the next few weeks of assessments and obituaries will determine how the past few years will be leveraged against the preceding 30.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the article, Meles was described by former U.S. Agency for International Development director and senior diplomat Andrew Natsios as &amp;ldquo;one of the ablest leaders in Africa.&amp;rdquo; However, &lt;a href=&quot;/fomunyohc&quot;&gt;Chris Fomunyoh&lt;/a&gt;, NDI&amp;rsquo;s regional director for Central and West Africa noted in an interview for the piece that though Meles was &amp;ldquo;effective at curbing extremism in the Horn,&amp;rdquo; he also had a &amp;ldquo;mixed record&amp;rdquo; in the area of human rights, and was shrinking the political space with each year he extended his power.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fomunyoh said that under Meles, &amp;ldquo;Ethiopia became an anchor in the Horn of Africa,&amp;rdquo; and that &amp;ldquo;next Ethiopian leader should try to build on positive achievements of Meles, and at the same time be more forward-leaning, more open in terms of political engagement.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Albright Reaffirms Need to Work at Preserving &#039;Gift of Freedom&#039; </title>

                    &lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fragility of freedom and how to preserve it was one of the themes explored at the 10th anniversary meeting of the Community of Democracies (CoD), a global coalition of democratic countries, meeting July 2-4 in Krakow, Poland.  &lt;/p&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;all-attached-images&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;image-attach-body image-attach-node-16641&quot; style=&quot;width: 382px;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/node/16641&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.ndi.org/files/images/CoD_Albright_Walesa_cropped_382_0.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;CoD_Albright_Walesa_cropped_382.jpg&quot; title=&quot;CoD_Albright_Walesa_cropped_382.jpg&quot;  class=&quot;image image-_original &quot; width=&quot;382&quot; height=&quot;288&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div id=&#039;imgcaption&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;&lt;p&gt;The fragility of freedom and how to preserve it was one of the themes explored at the 10th anniversary meeting of the Community of Democracies (CoD), a global coalition of democratic countries, meeting July 2-4 in Krakow, Poland.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NDI Chairman &lt;a href=&quot;/albrightm&quot;&gt;Madeleine K. Albright&lt;/a&gt;, who as U.S. secretary of state was an initiator of the organization along with the late Polish Foreign Minister Bronislaw Geremek, returned to Poland for the gathering.  In 2000 in Warsaw, ministerial delegations from 106 countries signed a declaration, &quot;Toward the Community of Democracies,&quot; with the aim of demonstrating methods of support to countries striving for democracy and freedom. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Krakow meeting was attended by 80 official delegations from around the world, including 40 at the ministerial level, as well as 200 civil society activists from Burma, Zimbabwe, China, Russia and Cuba, among other places.  Also attending were parliamentarians from Europe, Africa and North America who are participants in the community&#039;s Parliamentary Forum, which was launched last March at the initiative of Lithuania, which currently holds the CoD chairmanship.  &lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the decade since the founding of the Community of Democracies, a major change has been the explosion of technology and the tools it has created, both for those supporting the free flow of ideas and other democratic values and for authoritarian states interested in the opposite, curtailing information and suppressing human rights. Speaking on a panel in Krakow, NDI&#039;s chief technology officer, Chris Spence, explored the role of technology in democratic development and the risks its use poses in closed societies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;Our view is that technologies are clearly a net positive for democracy...because of the important role [they] can play in consolidating democracy in fragile and transitional democratic states,&quot; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;/node/16342&quot;&gt;Read more &amp;raquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Krakow meeting focused on challenges to democracy and, specifically, how to overcome obstacles in the path of building civil society in the contemporary world.  The CoD is developing a global democracy work plan focusing on such areas as civil society protections; gender equality and women&#039;s rights; poverty, development and democracy; promoting democracy and responding to national and transnational threats; and regional cooperation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Albright attributed the success of the first gathering in 2000 to Geremek, who died in 2008 and for whom a democracy award has now been named.  &quot;In his welcoming remarks,&quot; she said, &quot;he declared that &#039;the emergence of democracy was the most important development of the 20th century.&#039; But he also reminded us that the gift of freedom was never fully safe &amp;ndash; because from one direction or another, the principles of freedom will always be opposed. He argued, therefore, that those who are blessed to live in a democracy have an obligation to repay that blessing by upholding free institutions and by teaching, protecting, and cherishing democratic values.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Albright presented the Geremek Award to Father Jos&amp;eacute; Conrado Rodriguez of Cuba, a minister in the impoverished city of Santiago de Cuba. Father Jos&amp;eacute;, she said, &quot;reminds us that democracy &amp;ndash; at its best &amp;ndash; is more than just another system of government... Democracy is grounded in a belief that the legitimate power of governance comes not from the barrel of a gun, or from the means to arrest and to brutalize prisoners, or from the capacity to punish those who dare to voice their discontent. Power, to be legitimate, must come from the people.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who delivered a keynote address, noted &quot;three essential elements of a free nation &amp;ndash; representative government, a well-functioning market and civil society &amp;ndash; that work like three legs of a stool.&quot; But &quot;walls are closing in&quot; on civic organizations in an increasing number of countries, she said, citing Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Venezuela, Russia, China and Egypt. &quot;Over the last six years, 50 governments have issued new restrictions against NGOs, and the list of countries where civil society faces resistance is growing longer.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;An attack on civic activism and civil society is an attack on democracy,&quot; she said.  &quot;...it  doesn&#039;t matter whether the goal is better laws or lower crime or cleaner air or social justice or consumer protection or entrepreneurship and innovation, societies move forward when the citizens that make up these groups are empowered to transform common interests into common actions that serve the common good.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next ministerial level meeting will take place in 2011 in Vilnius, Lithuania.&lt;/p&gt;
