Spotlight on the Democracy Tracker
Democracy Tracker homepage (2024)
The Democracy Tracker platform, launched under the Global State of Democracy Initiative in November 2022, monitors and assesses the most important developments relating to democracy and human rights in 173 countries on a monthly basis. The platform contributes to a favourable global information ecosystem for policymakers, CSOs, media, activists and strategic partners to protect and promote democracy. The tool links individual events to high-level data visualization and provides expert analysis on how individual events impact democracy.
In 2023, the Democracy Tracker established itself as a key global resource; it was viewed 232,264 times by 77,763 users during the year. Throughout the year, International IDEA presented the Democracy Tracker at 34 meetings and events around the world, from South Africa to Thailand, to stakeholders including UN permanent representatives, the US State Department, Global Affairs Canada and the European Parliament Research Service, as well as to EMBs, civic educators, universities and foundations.
This looks very useful for us because we get questions from members of parliament or party group secretaries in the parliament. So, this looks like a very good system to find information in a structured way. I think my researchers will have use for it.’
