We support people's participation in democracy and development
More about usIntroducing our new 2026-2031 Strategic Plan
Every five years, we lay out a new plan of action for how we’ll support civil society across the Commonwealth to meet the world’s most complex challenges.
Our mission is clear: equip communities with the democratic, economic and climate resilience they need to respond to a rapidly shifting global landscape marked by rising inequality, more frequent economic shocks and geopolitical tensions.
It is in this context that we have developed our new 5-Year Strategic Plan (2026–2031). It sets out how we will support civil society, grassroots communities and creative practitioners to take collective action and shape discourse and policy in Commonwealth states.
