For democracy, where it is needed the most

The Christian Democratic International Center strengthens democracy by training politicians, parties, civil society, and free media in countries where oppression and corruption restrict people’s freedom.

KIC’s programs around the world

We work long-term together with local partners in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe to strengthen the foundations of democracy. The focus is on education, representation, and increased political participation.
