Our overarching objective as EPD is to contribute to setting a comprehensive and effective agenda for democracy support around the world. For the 2023-2026 period, we will be focusing on five priorities. Within each of these five priority areas, we conduct research, work on public policies and implement projects.

Information space

We research and act to tackle the most pressing challenges in the information space, supporting media pluralism and the right to freedom of expression.

Institutions

We work for resilient and accountable institutions that guarantee free and fair elections, oversight of decision-making and the decentralisation of national powers.

Inclusion

To ensure fair and effective decision-making processes, we contribute to amplifying the voices of young people, women, minorities and people with disabilities.

Innovation

We explore democratic innovations worldwide and link them to democratic renewal through policy recommendations and participation initiatives.

International policy

We advocate for strong pro-democracy policies and use evidence from our research and projects to improve the links between policy and practice.
