A review of European democracy support
18 months ago, EPD embarked on a review of European support for democracy. This has included several stand-alone papers on democracy support and numerous multi-stakeholder meetings with academics, activists, civil society, donors, experts, policy-makers and think tanks.
The review has ultimately culminated in a report looking at what European democracy support has achieved (the past), what can be improved today (the present) and where democracy support should be headed (the future).
It also includes 5 final recommendations on the next steps to take in order to improve and consolidate European support for democracy.
