The Project in 2006
During 2006, the Democratic Dialogue Regional Project will work towards enhanced quality and effectiveness of response of UNDP/RBLAC Country Offices to dialogue demands from governments and societies in the LAC region. This is to be achieved through the provision of sustained technical support to multi-stakeholder dialogue initiatives, and a systematic capacity building practice in democratic dialogue, thus contributing to stronger institutions for democratic governance and violent conflict prevention.
   
In 2001, the UNDP Regional Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean (RBLAC) established the Democratic Dialogue Project based in Guatemala. Since then, it constitutes an active service instrument to dialogue initiatives promoted by the country offices of Latin America and the Caribbean. It develops, disseminates and applies diverse social technologies to support conflict prevention and management efforts, as well as consensus building in the democracies of the region. The Project compiles, systematizes experiences, lessons learned and good practices; it brings technical advice to meet specific needs of country offices through a support network composed of a multidisciplinary group of professionals; and it establishes partnerships with other regional and international organizations who share a commitment to promote democratic dialogue world-wide.
