The policy forum intends to analyse the roots of the current social-economic crisis and expressions of political discontent in the region as well as their impacts on democracy and political parties. Beyond the academic discussion, the forum facilitates a political dialogue on common challenges of democratic governance, citizens ‘dialogue and inclusive development in Southern Africa.

The principal objective is to share experiences among party representatives and selected specialists from Southern African countries and thus to contribute to democratic policy development in the region.
