WFD is implementing a programme to support and enhance accountable democratic governance in Solomon Islands.

WFD’s most recent programme in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has now ended.
The most recent WFD DRC programme started in October 2019, following a parliamentary election where the results were contested. WFD launched a 6-month programme in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Thanks to a grant from the then-FCO, WFD’s technical experts worked closely with the secretariat and political leadership to assist in identifying new ways that could help strengthen the parliamentary system. This included working with first-time legislators, helping to induct new MPs, and supporting them to develop their skills as parliamentarians and leaders.
This programme aimed to introduce new approaches with the potential to transform how parliament functions in the short and medium-term, building genuine support for reform among political and parliamentary staff leadership.
