why our work matters
At NIMD, we believe in a better future; a peaceful and prosperous future, where people can thrive. And we believe this future relies on responsive and inclusive democracy.
Today less than 8%
of the world’s population lives in a full democracy. 14 countries are democratizing, while 42 are autocratizing – 35% of the world’s population.
A person living in a democracy is likely to have a 93%
higher life expectancy, greater happiness and increased life satisfaction.
Under NIMD-organized events, I feel empowered and politically re-energized to keep working for my people again. I value the impartial role that NIMD plays in dialogue facilitation, and I see it is quite effective for the country’s struggles for democracy.
