WFD - The Westminster Foundation for Democracy

WFD works with countries undergoing a transition to democracy. It provides expertise in developing parliaments, political party structures and civil society organisations – the institutions that make up a functioning democracy.  

WFD works to strengthen parliamentary capacity at national and sub-national level. It does this through training, sharing expertise on a peer-to-peer basis and building institutional capacity. WFD supports both members of parliament and parliamentary staff. Each programme is tailored to the needs of the specific parliament and may include, for example, strengthening financial oversight, accountability, human rights, communications, induction training, committee work, policy development and legislation.
