Helping democratic institutions deliver improvements to citizens’ lives is an overarching objective of National Democratic Institute (NDI) programs. In many transitioning democracies, citizens have experienced either minor or no tangible benefits from their new govts: poverty levels have remained the same; govt services remain ineffective or
have become worse; and citizens continue to feel disconnected from their govts.
Government leaders who fail to deliver basic levels of stability, safety and opportunity risk losing their legitimacy. When they fail to deliver on basic needs for prolonged periods, their poor performance can lead to a crisis of legitimacy not just for particular governments, but for the concept of democracy as a viable form a government.
