The meeting was co-sponsored by three member institutes of the NDRI — the Washington based International Forum for Democratic Studies (IFDS) of the National Endowment for Democracy, Slovakia’s Institute for Public Affairs (IVO), and Stanford University’s Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (CDDRL) — and made possible by financial support from the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF).
