Electoral violence is a persistent problem in Zambia. This book is
a case study of the usage, importance and impact of Public
Diplomacy (PD) and Smart Power (SP) by the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID/Zambia) and Friedrich-Ebert
Stiftung (FES) in Zambia by means of collaborating with local NGOs
- the Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) and the Southern
African Centre for the Constructive Resolution of Disputes
(SACCORD) to help elections take place among poor, uneducated
voters without resorting to violence. General and by-election
periods have for more than five decades generated an increased
intensity of electoral violence by hired impoverished youth
political cadres who are increasingly becoming more daring and
lethal, capable of damaging property, inflicting injuries on
victims or causing death. There is a growing urgent need for
special-tailored programmes that target instigators and
perpetrators of electoral violence - more definitely needs to be
done besides efforts by international organisations. It is up to
citizens, local NGOs and especially political parties and
responsible public institutions to act in order to limit electoral
violence in Zambia.
