Democracy and Governance Organization
We strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people, and communities thrive.
Around the globe, persistent poverty, repression, and injustice prevent too many people from achieving their full potential. To address these problems, we focus on people, not on buildings, roads, or wells. We support individuals and institutions to create change in their own communities—and to create person-to-person bridges between nations.
Fundación Multitudes is a non-governmental organization based in Chile that seeks to close the gap between citizens and decision-making process. We believe in citizen participation and civil society as a central axis for the development of our democracy. This is why we deliver tools for influencing public policies.
Our work centres on analysis and reporting, training and raising public awareness. The belief that people are active participants in public life, not subjects of their governments, guides what we do. We work with local actors to protect and expand our shared democratic space in a polarised world, regardless of political opinions or personal beliefs.
Through our networks of country offices and partners, we are in a unique position to report on developments and to help make improvements on the ground.
