Authoritarianism does not value the rule of law. It breeds corruption, promote vicious cycle of poverty and link to drug abuse, teen age pregnancy and crime. Supporting non violent organizations and grass roots efforts working on the ground against bad governance and authoritarianism is great way to involving those who are affected from bad governance in the solution process. They could collaborate with their international partners to mend critical gaps

From Peace And Justice Alliance, Since 2009, Bangladesh present dictator regime to stop critics & opposition also keep power unlimited time without people mandate has been patronizing bribery & mass corruption, money laundering & transferred billions of dollars to foreign countries also doing extra judicial killing, enforced disappearances, illegal imprison, against critics & opposition also criminalized justice & administration sectors. Bangladeshi people has observed stolen elections in 2014 & 2018 without voters, there is huge allegations of vote rigging, Bangladesh people need real visible urgent international intervention and solidarity to restore democracy and human rights, How your organization will able to assist to restore democracy and human rights in Bangladesh, please contact us email: peaceandjusticealliance@gmail.com; Thanks

One interesting approach is being led by the African Coaches Network, an informal group of embedded movement coaches sharing lessons on NVA strategy and how authoritarian and violent states are responding to NVA: https://africancoachingnetwork.org/
