Who We Are

The Democracy Council is a non-partisan, non-profit organization that operates with a collaborative, people-centered approach to the highest level of standards, ethics, and accountability. Our team consists of leading specialists from a broad range of backgrounds and practical experience from law, accounting, and government to humanitarian relief and civil society activists.

Our approach is based on working hand in hand with local stakeholders to identify problematic systems and collaboratively implement practical solutions that have a positive, measurable impact on people's lives. Our work is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the belief that a vibrant civil society and accountable public administration remain fundamental tenets of democratic societies. Democracy Council has a proven track record of safely implementing practical impact-driven programming based upon best practices defending and promoting the rights, liberties, and quality of life in the most demanding areas of the world.

The mission of the Democracy Council has always been the promotion of democratic institutions and practices. The work we do is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the belief that a vibrant civil society and accountable public administration remain fundamental tenets of democratic societies. Our mission is based on the ideals of independent thought, innovative thinking, cross-disciplinary scholarship, integrity, professionalism, and impact-driven work. Without a democratically friendly environment, civil society cannot progress and hold governments responsible for their actions. Our top priority will always be solving the problems and accomplishing the goals our partners have, to create better and more inclusive democratic societies.
