 * Fix and keep. While the article quality is extremely low, using the source searches above, it's quite clear that there are a number of secondary sources that establish notability for the organization, with the most written about work being from the early 2000s.
 * 1) Several news articles discussing particular efforts made by the partners for democratic change over a wide range of years, such as, and
 * 2) Several academic papers written in the area of international policy and diplomacy discussing work by the organization too, 2 of these require subscriptions so only google's summaries tell me anything about their relationship but,, , and as fairly certain examples.
 * 3) At least one published book exclusively about the subject:.
 * I think it's fairly clear that notability can be established here through reliable 3rd party sources, without any recentism bias. The only problem is the quality of the article as it stands is unacceptably low.  i kan reed (talk) 15:27, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note, I've done some basic work finding reliable references for some of the more basic claims made in the article, along with adding an infobox. I left the empty sections alone under the assumption that the original author was still working on the article.  i kan reed (talk) 15:52, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
