Democratic Governance Training Online

Democratic Governance Training Online is a menu of self-paced courses for UNDP staff. It is geared towards practitioners, or anyone who would like an induction or a refresher on UNDP's work in democratic governance.

In a set of 3 courses, virtual facilitators take you through the broad landscape of democratic governance for development. The course structure reflects UNDP’s strategic priorities for democratic governance. Each lesson presents fundamental concepts, trends, debates and challenges, as well as UNDP policy and practical guidance for programming.

The Democratic Governance Training Online is the product of a partnership between the Learning Resources Centre (Bureau of Management) and the Oslo Governance Centre (Democratic Governance Group, Bureau of Development Policy). We would like to thank all the course contributors.
