See Where Democracy Stands with International IDEA’s New “Democracy Tracker”
Channel: International IDEA
Date: 2023-04-05

International IDEA has launched its Democracy Tracker, an interactive, monthly updated online tool monitoring democracy and human rights in 173 countries around the world. Based on International IDEA’s comprehensive Global State of Democracy (GSoD) framework, the new Democracy Tracker site provides the definitive overview of the factors influencing elected government, free expression, gender equality, anti-corruption, and other barometers of thriving democratic societies. 

Visitors to https://www.idea.int/democracytracker/ can browse a unique grid that showcases upward, static or downward trends in featured countries on a monthly basis, as gauged by International IDEA’s Democracy Assessment (DA) team. Nations where the DA team’s data show positive political, social, and/or judicial developments each month are designated with green icons. Reflecting the myriad challenges facing free societies in 2023, other nations are labeled with red icons where the DA team’s data indicate setbacks or reversals.

The interactive site draws from local and international news sources, reporting from NGOs and UN agencies, International IDEA’s field-based experts and other local observers. Visitors to the site can also learn more about each country’s electoral system, the ratification status of human rights treaties, and other background information.

Democracy Tracker is generously funded by the European Union, the Bosch Foundation and BMZ. It is a part of International IDEA’s Global State of Democracy Initiative, which annually produces International IDEA’s flagship Global State of Democracy report. The most recent report (https://www.idea.int/gsod/), published in November 2022, featured the theme “Forging Social Contracts in a Time of Discontent.”
