On Saturday, 4th May 2013, Democracy International formally established the Council in its headquarters in Cologne, Germany.

 

 

 

Democracy initiatives from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands are the first members of the new body, whose main goal is to strengthen Democracy International’s work through bringing in experience, advice about best practice and engaging in campaigns.

The Council is foreseen in Democracy International’s statute, which stipulates that democracy initiatives with more than seven members can apply for membership of the Council. 

The founding members of the Council are:
