National Endowment for Democracy is a private,
nonprofit, bipartisan, organization created in 1983 to
help strengthen democratic institutions around the
world. Funded by an annual congressional
appropriation, the Endowment's grants program
assists organizations abroad working for democratic
goals. The Endowment's programs encourage
democratic political development primarily in three
major functional areas -- pluralism; democratic
governance; and education, culture, and
communications. The Endowment's grants have
supported nongovernmental prodemocratic programs
in some 90 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America
and the Caribbean, the Middle East, Central and
Eastern Europe, and the Newly Independent States.
The NED funded projects have objectives that have to be fulfilled.As long as
there is military rule in Burma ,eliminating members of the democratically
elected NLD by force, there will still be US government's fundings to
influence the political situation in Burma.The United States is funding
these dissident groups and NGOs with a view to restoring democracy in
Burma.Were the funds effectively used?Please direct your question to NED.
Sincerely,
Julien Moe
