The national capacity of political parties needs to be strengthened. Consideration should be given to provisions on state funding not only for the sustainability of political parties but also for campaign funding that guarantees a more level playing field and a reduction of dependency on contributions. Clear and transparent rules for the distribution and accountability of such funding should be established.
