NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development

What NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development does

NAYMOTE Partners for Democratic Development is a Liberian non-governmental, non-profit civil society organization founded in 2001 by Eddie Jarwolo and headquartered in Paynesville, Montserrado, Liberia, with regional offices in Bong County and Rivergee County. The organization's mission is to promote democracy, peacebuilding, human rights, and civic engagement in Liberia. Its core programs include the President Meter Project (an independent monitoring tool that tracks presidential campaign promise implementation — 169 promises under the Weah administration and 93 commitments under President Boakai), the Young Political Leadership School Africa (YPLS Africa, a political organizing and campaign training program for emerging leaders established in 2016), the Youth Legislative Policy Dialogue (30 sessions held across five counties since 2018), the County Accountability and Advocacy Team (monitoring County Social Development Funds in six counties), the Young Women Political Leadership Program, the Community Justice Advisor Project (active in 120 rural communities), and the Legislative Accountability Project. Supporting products include the Legislative Digest Report and President Meter Project Performance Reports.

The organization's technology stack is light and non-proprietary: it uses standard social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram) for civic engagement campaigns such as Liberia Decides, and operates a public PMP Dashboard on naymote.com. NAYMOTE has no software products, APIs, or commercial technology offerings. Revenue is generated entirely through grants and partnerships with international development agencies — visible funders include USAID, the Swedish Embassy/SIDA, UNDP, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Open Society Initiative for West Africa, The Carter Center, UN Women, IREX, and Democracy International. Beneficiary end-users are Liberian citizens (general public, youth aged 18–32 who constitute 55% of registered voters, young women political aspirants, lawmakers in the 55th Legislature, and local government officials). NAYMOTE employs 37 staff and reaches citizens in all 15 Liberian counties plus ambitions in the Mano River Union region (Sierra Leone).

Broad incumbents

• National Democratic Institute (NDI): U.S.-based democracy-promotion NGO active in Liberia and West Africa, implementing programs in political party training, civic participation and election support — directly comparable to NAYMOTE's YPLS Africa and legislative-dialogue work but with a global footprint and far larger budget.
• International Republican Institute (IRI): Global democracy NGO running political-party and civic-engagement programs in Liberia and across West Africa — overlapping with NAYMOTE's youth leadership and governance portfolios.
• International IDEA: Intergovernmental organization supporting democratic governance reform globally, including in West Africa — comparable mission space (electoral integrity, civic participation, constitution-building) at a multilateral scale.
• Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS) – Liberia / Rule of Law Program: German political foundation operating rule-of-law and civic-education programs in Liberia and West Africa — closely comparable to NAYMOTE's Community Justice Advisor and civic-education programming but funded by a single European party foundation.
• The Carter Center – Democracy Program: Implements rule-of-law, access-to-justice and election-observation programs globally, and is already a direct programmatic partner/funder of NAYMOTE — making its methodology and operating model directly comparable.

Emerging players

• African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies (ACDHRS): Gambia-based African human-rights and democracy research/training centre serving West African civil society — comparable in mission and beneficiary base, with a narrower thematic focus.

Direct peers

• Centre for Transparency and Accountability in Liberia (CENTAL): Liberian anti-corruption and governance CSO running accountability and civic-engagement programs that overlap directly with NAYMOTE's President Meter and CAAT portfolios.
• Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP): Liberian civic and election-observation organization focused on democratic participation, voter education and electoral reform — directly comparable to NAYMOTE in mission, geography and target audience.
• Institute for Research and Democratic Development (IREDD): Liberia-based democracy and governance research/advocacy organization with overlapping voter-education, civic-engagement and legislative-accountability programming.

Regional players

• West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI): Ghana-headquartered regional CSO capacity-building and civic-engagement organization operating across West Africa, comparable in mission and target beneficiary (civil society actors) but at a regional scale NAYMOTE is only beginning to pursue.
