FRIDE, in collaboration with the World Movement for Democracy, asked nearly 600 civil society representatives across 13 countries their opinion on how democracy aid should be re-energised.
 
Despite claims to the contrary, demand for democracy is on the rise. In recent years, democracy assistance has increased but its results have been far from impressive. Actors in recipient countries ask donors to adapt support to local needs and better to link assistance policies to political reform. A new FRIDE project on "Revitalising Democracy Assistance" offers advice on how to improve both donor and local stakeholder practices.

FRIDE, in collaboration with the World Movement for Democracy, asked nearly 600 civil society representatives across 13 countries their opinion on how democracy aid should be re-energised. The result is the first comprehensive analysis on democracy assistance worldwide, including:

  • 13 in-depth country case studies, based on the views of local democracy stakeholders:

Belarus Georgia Nigeria  
Bosnia Ghana Ukraine  
China Indonesia Yemen  
DRCongo Kenya   
Egypt Morocco   


The project "Revitalising Democracy Assistance" was jointly carried out by FRIDE and the World Movement for Democracy. The project was supported by the United Nations Democracy Fund, the UK Department for International Development, the Arab Democracy Foundation, the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Smith Richardson Foundation. ADF provided funding for the two case studies on Morocco and Egypt.
