    ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Democracy involves the right of the people freely to determine their own destiny. The exercise of this right requires a system that guarantees freedom of expression, belief and association, free and competitive elections, respect for the inalienable rights of individuals and minorities, free communications media, and the rule of law. — “Statement of Principles and Objectives,” 1984 ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Chairman’s Message | 2 President’s Message | 4 The Year at NED | 7 Fiscal 2011 Programs Africa | 10 Asia | 22 Central and Eastern Europe | 32 Eurasia | 42 Latin America and the Caribbean | 52 Middle East and North Africa | 60 Global | 70 World Movement for Democracy | 72 Center for International Media Assistance | 74 International Forum for Democratic Studies Democracy Rersource Center | 76 Overview | 77 Journal of Democracy | 78 Fellowship Programs | 80 International Forum for Democratic | 83 Studies Research Council 2011 Independent Auditors’ Report | 84 Board of Directors | 93 Officers and Directors | 93 From the Chairman t is difficult to look back on 2011 without concluding that it Ioffered more reasons to be optimistic than fearful. With the exception of 1989, no single year has presented as much vindication of NED’s mission or as much promise for our vision. The pro-democracy revolts of the Arab Spring not only broke the region’s au- thoritarian stronghold, but also generated fresh momentum for democratic change that could be felt as far away as China and Cuba. As the year ended, long repressed but newly engaged forces in Russia and Burma were pressing for democratic reform. Just two weeks into 2011, protests sparked by the self-im- veys show, the ferment was primarily caused by socioeco- molation of Tunisian street vendor Muhammad Bouazazi nomic grievances, by the popular demand for opportunity ousted the authoritarian regime of Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali — the chance to get a job, an education, to walk the streets after 23 years of repressive rule.
