Within the Pro-Electoral Integrity project, we participated in the 2024 OECD Global Forum on Building Trust and Reinforcing Democracy in Milan, contributing to high-level discussions on the challenges facing democratic governance in an increasingly complex global context. The Forum brought together policymakers, international organisations, civil society actors, and experts to address issues such as declining public trust, political polarisation, disinformation, and the impact of digital technologies on democratic processes.

Our team engaged in key debates on strengthening institutional resilience, enhancing citizen participation, and safeguarding electoral integrity. The discussions also explored the role of artificial intelligence in governance and elections, as well as the importance of transparency, accountability, and inclusive democratic practices. ECES’ involvement reinforced its commitment to promoting democratic governance, supporting electoral stakeholders, and contributing to global dialogue on innovative solutions to reinforce trust in democratic institutions.
