On December 9-10, 2021, President Biden will host a virtual Summit for Democracy, which will bring together leaders from government, civil society, and the private sector to set forth an affirmative agenda for democratic renewal and to tackle together the greatest threats democracies face today. The Summit will provide a platform for leaders to make both individual and collective commitments to strengthen democracy, combat corruption, and defend human rights at home and abroad.
USAID Administrator Power will participate in several public events to underscore USAID’s commitment to advancing democracy and human rights and countering corruption, including:
The December 2021 Summit will also kick off a “year of action,” in which participants will be encouraged to work collaboratively with diverse stakeholders to make meaningful internal reforms and support international initiatives that advance the Summit’s goals. Approximately one year after the first virtual Summit for Democracy in December 2021, President Biden will host a second summit to take stock of the progress made and advance a common path ahead. If public health conditions permit, this meeting will be convened in-person.
More information on event times and details is available at the Summit for Democracy website.
