Evidence shows that democracy helps protect rights, reduces the risk of conflict, benefits international and domestic peace, and increases the likelihood of sustainable economic growth and effective social policies.
In short: Inclusive, accountable, effective democratic governance is a powerful tool. It can solve the problems that matter to people and address global challenges that affect us all.
Our new video series features partners we support in Kenya, Nigeria, Malaysia, and Nepal. They tell the story of positive change that has resulted from strengthening democracy.
