Networks
Democracy is a team effort. We deeply value our wide network of trusted partners in international organisations, regional bodies, government, civil society, academia and the private sector. By working together, we can multiply each other’s research, advocacy and activities to advance democracy worldwide.
Here are some of our most trusted partners and networks we actively participate in:
The Global Network for Securing Electoral Integrity (GNSEI) convenes election stakeholders around a shared vision: to inspire and inform action to advance electoral integrity in the face of critical threats to democracy. Specifically, GNSEI brings together leading international electoral integrity actors to establish a broad-based platform to develop, advance, and promote adherence to norms, guiding principles, and codes of conduct that address emerging and long-term threats to electoral integrity. While there are other platforms and forums that focus on specific election integrity issues or bring together sub-communities of election integrity actors, there has not been a standing platform for these electoral integrity actors to regularly and systematically cooperate.
The Global Democracy Coalition is an agile, inclusive, and action-oriented multi-stakeholder Coalition that seeks to advance democracy globally. As a multi-stakeholder solidarity network, the Global Democracy Coalition explores and seizes opportunities for collective action and influence for the global democracy agenda.
GADN is an influential network of UK-based NGOs and experts collaborating internationally to promote gender equality and the rights of women and girls in all their diversity.
The FAIR SHARE Monitor and commitment focuses on increasing the number of women in leadership positions within the global social impact sector. When we say women, we mean everyone identifying as a woman - transgender, intersex, cisgender- from all corners of the world and no matter their journey towards leadership. With FAIR SHARE we seek to contribute to a wider debate on diversity, inclusion and intersectionality, and ultimately open the doors for a new generation of leaders that change their organisations and the world.
The European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) is a network with a global remit to support democracy. In 2008, several organisations came together to create EPD as a partnership to reinforce European democracy support by building a community that advocates and acts for democratic values around the world. EPD works inside and outside Europe because we recognise that democracy is a universal aspiration and that the contemporary challenges and opportunities for democracy are global in scope.
Election Observation and Democracy Support (EODS) is the capacity-building project for EU Election Observation, funded by the European Commission. The current EODS project focuses on five key areas: strengthening the EU Election Observation Mission methodology, enhancing the capacity of EU election missions to assess the impact of social media on elections, coordinating communication strategies for EU election missions, training election observation specialists in EU methodology and key election principles, and developing tools to support the operational aspects of EU election observation.
