International IDEA is convening a global multistakeholder coalition for democracy in a virtual forum to be held for 24 hours on 7 December 2021. The purpose of the Global Democracy Coalition Forum is to facilitate a global conversation on democracy, as inputs to the Summit for Democracy, convened by the United States Government and to be held on 9 and 10 December 2021.

The Forum seeks to provide a platform for voices, actors and issues that may not be part of the official Summit and will thereby contribute to broadening the discussions of the Summit.

The Forum will be held virtually and will consist of one day of over 26 live and recorded webinars with the participation of 34 democracy organizations around the world (and counting) held under the common brand “Global Democracy Coalition Forum” on key challenges, opportunities and solutions to strengthen, protect and renew democracy globally across and beyond the three pillars of the Summit for Democracy (human rights, corruption and rising authoritarianism). The webinars will be recorded and accessible on a webpage after the forum is over to help inform discussions in and after the Summit for Democracy 2021 and ahead of the 2022 Summit. Coalition members will engage actors from around the world, including global thought-leaders, prominent personalities, academics, experts, democracy activists and practitioners.
