Keseb is a nonpartisan, pro-democracy
nonprofit organization.

We are building an ecosystem for cross-country learning, collaboration, and innovation to counter authoritarianism and advance inclusive and resilient democracies.

The global order is nearing a tipping point, and if democracy’s defenders do not work together to help guarantee freedom for all people, the authoritarian model will prevail.”

— ­­Freedom in the World 2022, Freedom House

Why Keseb?

Both American and global democracy are at an inflection point. And the bifurcation of U.S. domestic and international pro-democracy efforts has hindered effective transference of knowledge and tactics.
