Funded and supported by the Toda Peace Institute, this lighthouse is an integral part of Toda’s Global Challenges to Democracy programme. The platform isn’t a political organisation or party-political grouping; it is an independent beacon and distributor of information on the global subversion and renewal of democracy. Democracy Lighthouse offers guidance to researchers, teachers, students, journalists, politicians, lawyers, public officials, NGO activists and citizens worried about the worldwide threats faced by democracy, many of them actively researching and inventing new ways of rejuvenating the spirit and substance of democracy.
