About AAEI

The Asian Academy for Electoral Integrity (AAEI) is a peer-to-peer learning program aimed at cultivating young advocates and reformers to advance election observation and monitoring and further push for the enhancement of electoral democracy in Asia.

AAEI is made possible thanks to the generous support from the National Democratic Institute (NDI).

NDI is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization that works in partnership around the world to strengthen and safeguard democratic institutions, processes, norms and values to secure a better quality of life for all. NDI envisions a world where democracy and freedom prevail, with dignity for all.

AAEI Sessions
