WHERE WE WORK.
Democracy Works Foundation is an African non-profit company headquartered in South Africa.
We work through our country offices in the region to provide tools and platforms for democracy development.
The countries we operate in are fairly young democracies, hence our collaboration with citizens, leaders, and institutions to develop and commit to sustaining a democratic culture and climate governance.
