Doing Development Democratically (WFD and DIPD)
Channel: International IDEA
Date: 2021-12-07

Development actors do not need to see democracy as the cherry on top of development, only to be added at the final moment. While donors have tended to steer clear of the “messy business of politics”, preferring to work around democratic institutions, parliaments in many countries have quietly aided the effectiveness of development programs by ensuring that legislation is “fit for purpose.” Rather than bypassing democratic institutions, donors can support development by working with them – strengthening both development and democracy in the process. 

As part of the Global Democracy Coalition Forum ahead of the Summit for Democracy, Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD) are organising a webinar to explore how countries and donors can go about doing development democratically.
