September 15 is the International Day of Democracy, celebrating the universal principle that all people should have the right to freely choose how they are governed.

This year, the official theme for Democracy Day is Strengthening Voices for Democracy — something CIPE and its partners work towards every day by building the capacity of the private sector to advocate on behalf of small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Stay tuned to the CIPE Development Blog all this week for stories of how we can help strengthen voices democracy around the world!
