Democracy has globally declined over the last decade, due to numerous internal and external challenges to democratic societies. Where does the democracy assistance go? The new democracy support data tool of the European Democracy Hub digs deep into the major donors’ democracy spending.
Autocracies rising, wars ravaging, widespread unrest: these are just some of the challenges that have put democracy and democratic values under strain. Democracy assistance must be there to face these challenges and support democratic societies. In order to do so, quality democracy support evidence and access to information on democracy support worldwide is essential.
