newDemocracy have created a handbook which is a practical guide for commissioning, designing, and running citizens’ assemblies. The handbook builds on earlier UNDEF-supported work and includes case studies from Brazil, Malawi, and North Macedonia to show how assemblies can be adapted to different social and institutional contexts. Overall, it offers principles, step‑by‑step guidance, and global examples to help organisations use deliberation as a trusted democratic decision‑making tool. Find the handbook here.
