BRIDGE stands for Building Resources in Democracy, Governance and Elections- the BRIDGE project was developed by International IDEA, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) the United Nations Election Assistance Division (UNEAD) and IFES to assist election stakeholders to achieve effective, sustainable electoral administration.

BRIDGE has been developed by electoral administrators themselves, people with wide experience of elections in many different countries and contexts. It improves the skills, knowledge, and confidence both of election professionals and key stakeholders in the electoral process including members of the media, political parties, and electoral observers.
