Civic Engagement and Democratic Institutions

We believe better public policy results when governments and civil society engage with each other to develop innovative solutions to pressing public problems. The success of that kind of engagement depends on a well informed civil society with the capacity and motivation to engage, through inclusive processes, with open and resilient democratic institutions.
