Democracy and Development in Unity (Dutch: Democratie en Ontwikkeling in Eenheid) is a political party in Suriname. The party identifies as reformist, and was founded on 2 December 1999.[1]

The party's by-laws state that its board will be composed of 50% women and it will strive for equal numbers of men and women in all positions, the only party in the country to do so.[2]

The party had one seat in the National Assembly from 2010 to 2020, held by its then-leader Carl Breeveld. In the 2020 Surinamese general election, the party did not get any seats.[3]
