The NFP was established to pursue two primary objectives: promoting the successful adoption and adaptation of deliberative democracy approaches in the Global South and strengthening the capacity of practitioners, advocates, and public officials in these regions to advocate for, practice, and institutionalize public deliberation. To meet these objectives, the project focused on three “frontiers” of deliberative democracy: institutionalization, South-North learning, and difficult issues. These objectives remain at the core of the project’s mission.
