The Global Democracy Coalition, a multi-stakeholder coalition of more than 100 democracy organizations from across the world, convened a Forum on 28 February & 1 March 2023 in preparation for the second Summit for Democracy, co-hosted by the United States, South Korea, Zambia, the Netherlands and Costa Rica on 29 & 30 March. The aim was to provide a space for inclusive dialogue to collectively prepare inputs to inform the Summit discussions, but also to generate collective ideas for a post-Summit process. Specifically, the Forum provided a space to discuss progress on S4D commitment implementation, to take stock of the cohort process and share progress to date, to take collective stock of the state of democracy since the first Summit for Democracy, for GDC partners to make their own commitments to democracy (GDC pledge) and to generate recommendations for the post Summit process.
