I can support what Bob has been saying. I think it's important to note that a number of organizations who work in this field draw relatively little of their funding from government. There are civil society organizations, NGOs such as my own. Mine is not focused exclusively on democratic development, but democratic development is certainly a key part of it.
To add to the democracy dimensions that Bob has mentioned, I would say that democracy in education is absolutely basic. In the area that I know best, which is the Americas, Latin America and the Caribbean, there has been a decline in public education over the last ten years in practically every country in the region. That inevitably has an impact on the quality of democratic discourse.
And one other area, of course, in the same region, one of the great difficulties, is that the gulf between wealth and poverty has been growing. That has had the effect of eroding the confidence that people have in the democratic process and the expectations that rose up 20 or 25 years ago about what democratic institutions would produce.
