A series of forums for analysis and discussions have been organized by International IDEA, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) and the Ecuadorian Social Movements’ Development and Research Centre (CEDIME) in four cities located in different regions of Ecuador.
The main purposes of these events were to encourage political participation through the promotion of multiparty dialogue between the existing political parties and political movements; to contribute to the development of a democratic culture; and, to provide access and public understanding on the role of the Constituent Assembly as well as of its limitations, to avoid unrealistic expectations from the general public.
International IDEA and the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) have joined together in a local program, Ágora Democrática, to support the strengthening of democracy in Ecuador.
