UNDEF finances projects that build and strengthen democratic institutions, promote human rights and ensure the participation of all groups in democratic processes.

UNDEF grants range from US$50,000 to US$400,000. Project proposals are subject to a highly rigorous and competitive selection process, as UNDEF receives an average of about 2,000 proposals a year and only some 50-60 are selected.
