EDGE (Experts in Democracy, Governance and Elections) is a public foundation registered in Belgium that provide expertise, fellowship and assistance to people and institutions working to enhance democracy through supporting democratic institutions and processes, especially through promoting a sustainable and transparent use of technology applications in electoral activities. EDGE strives to serve and promote democratic accountability by working on capacity development, research, development and bring citizens up to speed with new technology applications that have an immediate impact on democratic choices.
Founded in 2013, EDGE focused its first years of work on pro-bono capacity development and technology improvements in democracy support initiatives. This was achieved through formulating new eLearning solutions for specific democracy-building purposes and customized technology applications for universities and international organizations. The Foundation is now moving to take a more active role in project implementation.
