International IDEA's Annual Results Report 2014 places an emphasis on accountability.

It provides a complete account of International IDEA's partnerships and activities during 2014. As a new feature this year, the programmatic results tables enable the reader to better appreciate the relevance and impact of International IDEA’s contributions to the democracy processes at stake. The 2014 Annual Results Report is designed to be a digitally interactive document providing fast access to resources and documentation online.

The decision to report both what has been successful and what has not been successful has been a decision for professional openness and integrity; it is intended to make the report a useful tool for stakeholders—internal and external—to hold International IDEA accountable.

Finally, the stories that are told in the report, of some of the most fundamental and constructive social processes currently ongoing in the world, are usually not on the radar of mainstream news. As a whole they make for a sometimes surprising read, which inspires optimism and respect.
