Support democracy around the world

We need strong democracies to tackle global challenges and solve the problems that matter to people.

Democracy is good for people and our planet – but it is under attack and levels of global democracy have been declining for 17 years. With action to strengthen democracy, we can counter authoritarian assault, tackle global challenges, and solve the problems that matter to people.

For UK MPs and parliamentary staff

WFD’s programmes around the world are bespoke to their context, and UK legislators, political parties, and parliamentary staff contribute their expertise and experience in a variety of ways—from providing mentoring to exchanging knowledge on panels—both in the UK and overseas.
