Training and Empowerment for Participatory Decision-Making
The main objective of this practice, led by FT Foundation, is to empower youth, women, displaced people, and other marginalized groups in Somalia to actively participate in decision-making and development planning. In a context of political instability and structural exclusion, the initiative aims to strengthen leadership capacities, create economic opportunities, and promote inclusion in political and community spaces.
Deliberative Assemblies
The main goal of this practice, led by Extituto, is to open politics to historically excluded sectors and build citizen participation processes that are clear, fair, and impactful. Through the implementation of citizens’ assemblies and deliberative formats tailored to each territory, Extituto seeks to strengthen democratic inclusion and co-responsibility between citizens and government.

Contemporary democracies are in crisis for multiple reasons, including the lack of credibility among representatives, numerous corruption scandals, and the fact that citizens do not feel heard or taken into account in the implementation of public policies, among other problems. Thus, to work for democracy is also to get closer to its defects, challenges, and frustrations.
Summer school participatory democracy
The purpose of the Summer School was to enable emerging practitioners, researchers, and democracy professionals to acquire key skills, build networks, and better understand models of participatory democracy. To achieve this, virtual workshops and surveys were organized to gather suggestions on relevant topics, ensuring a balance of perspectives from diverse actors, including government officials, NGOs, activist collectives, and academic institutions.
