About Company
Westminster Foundation for Democracy is the UK’s leading democracy-strengthening organisation. We bring together parliamentary and political party expertise to help developing countries and countries transitioning to democracy.
Our initial goal was to provide support to political parties in Eastern European countries transitioning to democracy. In the 2000s we supplemented our political party programmes by developing a speciality in strengthening parliamentary capacity at both national and sub-national levels. And in recent years we’ve developed a new ‘integrated’ programme concept which combines our two areas of expertise, helping political parties operate more effectively within parliaments.
WFD receives a core grant from the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office in three-year cycles; the current cycle runs from 2015 to 2018. We use this to ensure a permanent presence in the countries where we operate. This gives our staff a strategic, politically astute view of the contexts we operate in.
