Swedish International Liberal Centre SILC is a liberal foundation that assists democracy development. The goal of SILC is to strengthen organisations and support individuals who develop and promote democracy and human rights. Democratisation requires outstanding political participants and entities who can mobilise citizens and institutions to undertake necessary change.

SILC primarily works with political parties and youth, women’s and human rights’ organisations, as well as independent journalists. The bulk of its work occurs in totalitarian and post-totalitarian states such as Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cuba, Moldova, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. SILC also has smaller projects in Singapore, Somalia and Zimbabwe.
