Dear Friends,

To mark this year’s International Day of Peace, NDI released a six-part
blog series <https://www.demworks.org/series/resilient-democracy>
reflecting on our experience supporting democracy in conflict-affected
countries.

NDI has spent more than three decades helping its local partners build
democracies that are resilient to violent conflict and which provide for
the peaceful competition of interests and ideas. This form of politics
resolves conflict through dialogue and deliberation, rather than the threat
or use of violence. The posts in this series take a closer look at how NDI
has worked to decrease intergroup tensions, promote democratic oversight of
the security sector, mitigate the threat of electoral violence and support
post-conflict political transitions. From Colombia to Kosovo and Cote
d’Ivoire, these examples demonstrate that managing conflict through
peaceful means is the foundation for democracy.

As we continue exploring how NDI programs contribute to sustaining peaceful
societies, we welcome your reactions, suggestions and reflections.

Kind regards,

Ken
