(重定向自UNDEF)
The United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF) was established by the Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan in July 2005 at the African Union Summit in Sirte, Libya, as a United Nations General Trust Fund under his authority. The fund was launched by the Prime Minister of the world's largest democracy, Shri Manmohan Singh, and the then US president, George W. Bush, for promotion of democratic values. Its primary purpose is to support democratization throughout the world. UNDEF finances projects that build and strengthen democratic institutions, promote human rights, and ensure the participation of all groups in democratic processes.
