> The United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF) supports projects that
> strengthen the
> voice of civil society, promote human rights, and encourage the
> participation of
>   all groups in democratic processes. OHCHR participates in the
> Programme Consultative
> Group of the Fund. The large majority of UNDEF funds go to local civil
> society organizations,
> including human rights organizations - both in the transition and
> consolidation
> phases of democratization. In this way, UNDEF plays a novel and distinct
> role in
>   complementing the UN's more traditional work - the work with
> governments - to strengthen
> democratic governance around the world.
>
> UNDEF finances projects that build and strengthen democratic
> institutions promote
> human rights and ensure the participation of all groups in democratic
> processes.
