Second Assembly
Workshop Reports

To help ensure that it would be as focused as possible on the practical ways that democrats around the world can advance their work and mutually support each other, the Second Assembly was composed almost entirely of smaller topical, regional, and functional workshops to maximize opportunities for participation. Naturally, the success of the Second Assembly will be measured by the effectiveness of the various initiatives and activities resulting from those workshop discussions. The following reports, which appear in the order in which the workshops took place, thus form the action agenda that emerged from the Assembly.

The workshop reports were initially presented in plenary sessions during the Assembly and generally contain the participants' observations on the challenges to democracy as well as their recommendations on how best to address them. In some cases, the workshops resulted in wide-ranging policy recommendations to the international community; in other cases, they resulted in practical recommendations to nongovernmental organizations; and in still other cases, they resulted in recommendations to the World Movement for Democracy itself.
