The Westminster Foundation for Democracy Limited (WFD) is the UK’s democracy support organisation. It helps solve problems of democracy by mobilising British and international expertise so that democracies can address challenges that people face around the world – from climate change to corruption.
Its programmes work to promote open, inclusive, representative, accountable, and responsive multi-party political systems that deliver meaningful outcomes for societies. WFD’s values are accountability and integrity, excellence, people-focussed, and being mission-oriented in everything it does.
Moreover, its people don’t just implement its programmes, they are its programmes. They build and maintain long-term, trusted relationships that are sensitive to local politics. This is critical to effective democracy support programming.
It is this cultural diversity that also makes WFD stronger, and a great place to work, and underlines its commitment to equity and inclusion. While WFD staff are bound by a collective commitment and passion to see democracy thrive around the world, this is also reflected in their respect and support for each other.
The organisation is committed to ensuring high levels of wellbeing by addressing the internal and external challenges that it and other organisations working in this sector, face.
