Civil Society

Civil Society and Civil Society Organisations are playing a crucial part in achieving our aims and objectives. We are reaching civil society through monthly political debates, capacity building and voter education.

Public Dialogues & Fora

Political forums are aimed at creating a platform for dialogue and debate between leaders, experts, academic and civil society. These debates seek to advocate accountability and public participation.

Capacity Building

DDP continues to capacitate and empower members of civil society and organizations in order for them to fulfill their roles of representing the interests of their respective communities. More than 57 organisations, which focus on democracy, human rights and community participation, received training in 2005. After the training, DDP monitors the organisations’ activities in order to asses the impact and effectiveness of the training.

Democracy and Voter Education

People need to be informed of their rights and responsibilities within a democracy which includes education on the technical aspects of casting one’s vote.
