DEMOCRACY STARTS WITH DIALOGUE

About NIMD

The Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) works to promote peaceful, just and inclusive democracies worldwide. 

We believe that democracy can only thrive when all voices are heard; and that all groups must have an equal opportunity to participate in political life in their country. 

We build all our democracy support programmes around that core belief, as we work to break down systemic and structural barriers to political participation. 

A big part of this work is bringing people together across divides. We promote trust, collaboration and respectful dialogue among politicians, political parties, civil society and citizens.  

Providing democracy support across five key thematic areas, we give political actors the tools they need to cooperate constructively on issues that affect them, their country, and the broader region. We enable them to reach out to citizens and truly listen to their needs, fostering a more inclusive and responsive political environment.
