Keseb is a nonpartisan, pro-democracy nonprofit organization.

We are building a transnational civil society ecosystem for learning, collaboration, and innovation to advance inclusive and resilient democracies.

We envision a world made up of inclusive democracies and thriving communities that honor the dignity, wellbeing, and potential of every life.

Our unique multidisciplinary approach bridges effective practices from venture philanthropy, network-building, and think tanks to build a transnational ecosystem that fuels pro-democracy civil society through:

1. Accelerating the pace of innovation by local and national pro-democracy organizations and efforts

2. Strengthening the pro-democracy field’s intelligence and foresight capability through research, sensemaking, and knowledge transfer of tactics between countries

3. Building and deepening solidarity among democracy champions, across geographies and strategies

4. Shaping a positive inclusive democracy narrative that inspires and unlocks the imagination of people across the globe

 We operationalize our work through complementary impact initiatives:

Fellowship

The Democracy Fellowship provides deep support to a mosaic of leading and established national democracy entrepreneurs and their organizations from Brazil, South Africa, and the United States.

Network

The Global Democracy Champions Network provides an engagement platform for a select group of leading democracy champions from around the world.

Intelligence

Keseb’s intelligence products offer analysis and actionable insights to equip pro-democracy practitioners and philanthropists in the U.S. and globally.

Convenings

Keseb’s multi-stakeholder convenings facilitate timely transnational dialogues and build solidarity across borders.


The Outlook: For and By Democracy Champions

The Outlook is a digital global magazine for and by democracy champions.

Curated and published by Keseb, this first edition invites civil society to meet a historic moment with courage, highlights notable transnational trends, and features insights from leaders in Brazil, Georgia, Germany, Indonesia, Nigeria, and the United States.

21st-Century Democracy: Building a Transnational Innovation Ecosystem

This essay series in Stanford Social Innovation Review, authored by leading democracy champions from Brazil, South Africa, and the United States, discusses effective nonpartisan pro-democracy strategies.

Our aspiration is that these five essays will inform, challenge, and expand the field's imaginative capacities to innovate for 21st-century democracy - within and across our borders.
