- Value [1] Democracy
- Democracy is a universal human aspiration and an experience that is pursued and lived in different ways around the world.
Democracy comes in multiple forms, and these forms are in constant evolution. There is no single and universally applicable
model of democracy, and there is no end point in improving democracy.
- Value [2] Political Equality
- Democracy is a system in which the government is controlled by the people and in which citizens are considered equals in the
exercise of that control. Beyond the basic tenets of citizens’ choice and citizens’ political equality, the critical choices
are best made, and the quality of democracy best gauged, by those directly concerned: the citizens themselves. Therefore,
the key leaders in democratic change are a country’s citizens, and the starting point for reform is at the local and national
level.
- Value [3] Collaboration
- International IDEA’s work is characterized by a non-prescriptive and collaborative approach to democracy cooperation.
- Value [4] Political Participation
- International IDEA will strive to ensure that democratic outcomes are consistent with: * full and equal political participation
and representation of women and men; * inclusiveness with regard to the many expressions of diversity in society; and * minimizing
conflict and consolidating peace and security.
