Challenger. CEPPS/NDI will run four iterations of its current “Challenger” program, in which approximately 60 youth annually receive intensive training in policy analysis skills and practice. Challenger begins with a competitive application process, which typically has attracted more applicants than CEPPS/NDI can accommodate. NDI will seek to include members of the LGBTI community and people with disabilities throughout the application process.

The course is designed to stimulate critical thinking about issues and generates excitement among young people disillusioned with the personality-based politics which dominate Moldovan news.

Fix My Community is part of CEPPS/NDI’s DemTools toolkit, a suite of free, open-source software for political and civic activists. FixMyCommunity was originally created by MySociety in the U.K. as FixMyStreet, where it helps citizens report problems in infra...
