CDI Director at the World Forum for Democratization in Asia (WFDA) Conference
CDI Director Ben Reilly attended the second Biennial Conference of WFDA on 19-21 September 2007 in Manila, one of the largest - ever gatherings of Asian democrats. The event, which brings together both government-sponsored democracy promotion organisations with those in the non-governmental sector, produced the Manila Declaration on Democracy and Peace, as well as the WFDA Framework for Action 2007-2009, which focussed on expanding democracy in the region via global participation, regional strategies, and country-specific focus areas.
Following the forum, Prof Reilly attended a separate donors roundtable for the democracy assistance foundations operating in Asia, and shared CDI's experience in democracy assistance in the region. Click on this link for more information on WFDA:
