UNDEF Projects

The UN Democracy Fund supports projects that strengthen the voice of civil society organizations, promote human rights, and encourage the participation of all groups in good governance processes. UNDEF projects are typically two years long, with project grants ranging from $100,000 to $200,000. The large majority are implemented by civil society organizations in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. UNDEF also supports a number of major global and regional projects with a normative and policy focus. In these ways, UNDEF plays a novel and distinct role in complementing the UN’s other work -- the work with Governments -- to strengthen governance around the world.
