Democracy promotion

Peacekeeping is conducive to democracy promotion and building in the developing world. Here, facilitator and former MICAH Police Commissioner Yves Bouchard shares mission experience with senior military and police officials in mission management to contribute to African Union peacekeeping missions. The Planification Avancée des Missions Intégrées (APIM), or Advanced Mission Planning Course, was held by the Pearson Centre at Bamako's Ecole de maintien de la paix.

Democracy promotion, also referred to as democracy building, can be domestic policy to increase the quality of already existing democracy or a strand of foreign policy adopted by governments and international organizations that seek to support the spread of democracy as a system of government. In practice, it entails consolidating and building democratic institutions

International democracy promotion typically takes three forms: assistance, monitoring, and conditionality.[1] In financial terms, democracy promotion grew from 2% of aid in 1990 to nearly 20% in 2005.[2] More controversially and rare, it can also take the form of military intervention.[3][4]
