NDI has great respect for the sovereignty of the Russian Federation and , as such , does not support candidates for public office , finance political parties , or seek to manage political campaigns . The Network initially focused on the task of creating a library of materials and a computerized database to manage this information . Information such as name and e-mail addresses are used by NDI to send our newsletters and other news for which the user / subscriber have expressed an interest . As part of a region-wide effort to support and renew political parties , NDI is working with 39 young leaders from Mexico 's three main parties ( PRI , PAN and PRD ) to conduct party strengthening projects in Mexico . Recent electoral reforms in Mexico , particularly the creation of an autonomous Federal Electoral Institute - IFE , made it possible for opposition parties like the PAN and the Party of the Democratic Revolution - PRD to challenge the seven decades of political dominance by the Institutional Revolutionary Party - PRI at both the national and local level , resulting in a more competitive and open political system . Through a year long program that includes a national workshop and follow-on assistance , NDI will introduce trainers from the PRI , PAN , and PRD to these reform-oriented and interactive training curricula and materials . Project results have included increasing the participation of youth in the 2000 elections , the development of proposals for internal party reform that were considered by party congresses in 2001 , increased participation of women and youth within the internal structures of the PRI , the establishment of a PAN youth training scholarship program ( Linceo ) in 2002 , increased use of technology tools in PRD campaigns in 2003 , and improved constituent outreach and direct voter contact initiatives by PAN federal congressmen in 2004 .
