Democracy Reporting International operates on the conviction that democratic, participatory governance is a human right and governments should be accountable to their citizens. Democracy Reporting International promotes democratic governance around the world with a focus on institutional aspects of democracy, namely:
- Elections
- Parliaments
- Constitutions
- Democracy Standards
Through careful assessments based on detailed field research, Democracy Reporting International provides the public with specialist policy advice on improvements that can be made to enhance democratic governance. Democracy Reporting International advocates for such changes with domestic actors, the media and relevant international bodies and co-operates with national organisations, wherever possible.
