Democratic Unity program

As part of a multi-year commitment, NDI engages key stakeholders across regional and national parties, parliaments, and civil society, including in Japan, Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan, to facilitate collaboration and cooperation among regional democratic champions to advance democratic norms and values across Asia.  Through regional convening events and dialogues, the program aims to build awareness of specific threats to democratic norms and values in Asia; to provide a platform to coalesce around a common understanding on democratic unity; and to identify institutional strengthening measures that could be pursued to counter anti-democratic trends.
