The Award

In collaboration with the Democracy and Culture Foundation, The Better Politics Foundation proudly presents the inaugural recipients of the "Democratic Innovators of the 21st Century" Politicians' Hall of Fame. This prestigious award celebrates remarkable women and men who have dedicated their lives to advancing democracy around the world.

The Recipients


In an era marked by change, uncertainty, complexity, challenges, and threats to democracy, these visionary leaders have shown us that democracy is not a static concept but a dynamic force that can be adapted and revitalized. These are women and men who have reimagined political systems, who have introduced technology to amplify voices, who have fostered inclusivity in traditionally exclusive spaces, and who have tirelessly advocated for transparency and accountability. 

The Legacy

Their collective work has brought us closer to the ideal of a democracy that truly serves its people and puts them at the heart of developing better policies for citizens and the planet —a democracy that is not just a promise but a daily reality and an inclusive mechanism. Their accomplishments remind us that the power to shape the future lies not only with leaders but with each and every citizen.
