Through its programmes, expertise, and international partnerships, WFD helps democracies to evolve, adapt, become more resilient and – ultimately – address the most urgent challenges societies face, from climate change to corruption. WFD’s work is led by the local knowledge and experience of its in-country teams in over 50 countries and territories. Its partners range from parliaments and political parties to civil society organisations.
