About European Partnership for Democracy (EPD)

The European Partnership for Democracy (EPD) is a network of 20 specialist organisations working together to support democracy globally. Founded in 2008, EPD aims to foster greater complementarity and dialogue between domestic, European, and external stakeholders to reinforce European democracy support.

Democracy holds an intrinsic and instrumental value for society, offering citizens greater autonomy and liberty, participation and transparency in decision-making, sustainable development, respect for human rights, and long-term stability. However, it requires continuous support to flourish. EPD's approach is rooted in the need to set a comprehensive and effective agenda for democracy support around the world.

EPD works through three pillars: research, policy, and programmes. The network covers key players within democratic systems and straddles the academic, policy, and practitioner worlds. Members include specialist organisations working on various aspects of democracy support, and EPD's funding comes from a range of sources including the EU, EU member states, private foundations, and member fees.
