Puolueiden kansainvälinen demokratiayhteistyö Demo ry
Partiernas internationella demokratisamarbete Demo rf
Political Parties of Finland for Democracy, Demo Finland
Demo Finland functions as a co-operative organisation for Finnish parliamentary parties. It seeks to enhance democracy by carrying out and facilitating collaborative projects between Finnish political parties and political movements in developing countries.
Demo is an organization by parties for parties. Central to its work are dialogue and training programmes providing opportunities for mutual learning, based on issues indentified in co-operation with partner organisations.
Party representatives of various backgrounds contribute their own expertise and compare their experiences of good practices and problems related to democracy. Demo values cross-party co-operation, seeking to foster mutual understanding and a constructive and inclusive political culture.
At the moment, Demo is focusing on two, often overlapping, issues in particular – promoting gender equality in politics in Tanzania, Ghana and Egypt and strengthening the voice of youth in politics in Nepal and Tunisia.
