Citizens & Leaders
Democracies are not healthy, nor can they flourish without active citizens, Democracy and Human Rights Defenders, who participate in society pro-actively, who solve problems their communities face, who are informed and skilled in participation.
This applies to both citizens and citizen representatives or politicians. If political leaders do not espouse democratic principles and ethics and don’t have the required skills-set or theoretical framework, democracy cannot grow.
Democracy Works Foundation, therefore, offers several innovative capacity building approaches and trainings that are targeted at the following beneficiaries:
- Democracy and Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) such as whistleblowers and civil society leaders working to protect Democracy and Rights
- Citizen and community leaders
- Civil society activists and change-makers
- Political leaders, whether established or youthful.
DWF prioritises youth and women in its capacity building and training work.
