Democracy

We want to see a Wales with a strong, confident democracy.  Our work will aim to improve the political education of the nation and the accountability and transparency of our politicians.

By encouraging a robust media through the IWA Media Audits in 2008, 2015,  and 2020, and through non-party political campaigning, we want to see Wales’s civic sphere grow and strengthen. Our project Understanding Welsh Places supports people to better understand their communities and provides a tool to empower the people of Wales.

Below is our latest work on our work on democracy. You can find a full list of our publications here.

The IWA only exists with the support of our members. Find out more about joining us to ensure that we are able to continue our work.
