Transparent and accountable to all, but beholden to none

As independent third-party evaluators have found, UNDEF is not beholden to the vision, doctrine, or geostrategic interests of any Member State, commercial entity, or philanthropic institution. Our evaluation process and lessons learned database advance accountability to not only donors, but partners and participants. We answer to project participants and to a governance structure unlike any in the field of democracy support. Our Advisory Board, which provides policy guidance and reviews project proposals, brings together a range of stakeholders: Governments – those countries who have made the seven largest financial contributions to the Fund, and six countries reflecting geographical diversity; up to four individuals; and two civil society organizations. We are also guided by our Ãå±±½ûµØpartners in the UNDEF Programme Consultative Group, who represent many parts of the Ãå±±½ûµØsystem worldwide and who provide expert advice, project selection support, and monitoring in the field.
