Where We Work

Partners has mediated disputes, curbed corruption, facilitated citizen participation and trained leaders in more than 50 countries throughout the world over the past 20 years.  We have witnessed the power of participation to improve governance, solve difficult disputes and initiate social change. We look, sometimes in unlikely places, for strategic openings to deepen democratic participation.  In some cases, this means a new national government committed to anti-corruption, decentralization of power or democratic reform. In other cases, local governments, civil society or international investors may need new participatory tools for managing change at the local level. 

We know that the development of a culture of democratic change management is a long-term process, so we are committed to a long-term commitment to involvement in a country, supporting the development of local leadership, institutions and expertise.  This commitment is embodied in our expanding global network of locally managed, independent Centers.
