Mission & Goals
CaraDem is an Irish-led, independent, not-for-profit organisation, committed to encouraging democratic governance. Our founding group is comprised of Irish and international leaders with backgrounds in public service, business, politics, and civil society. CaraDem partners with international institutions, political parties, governments, economic actors, and civil society to facilitate the development of enduring solutions, grounded in democratic principles. Our approach is deeply collaborative, harnessing the diverse expertise of our team and Ireland’s century-long experience as an independent democracy.
