Our work follows a cycle of research, fact finding and needs assessment , party-building, skills exchange and advice and support for campaigns. We aim to build capacity in-country, in particular, promoting the exchange of ideas among parties in neighbouring countries and in similar situations, through networks or regional or cross-party training.
The Liberal Democrats work mainly in Wider Europe, and in Africa, though with additional projects in other areas, and thematic work covering e.g. participation of youth and women in politics. In the past few years, the Liberal Democrats have focused particularly on working with African sister parties through building the Africa Liberal Network, which brings together liberal democratic parties from across Africa to share information and skills.
