Our story began in South Africa, where we helped bring political parties together and supported them to define their new roles after the end of Apartheid. The objective of the politicians was clear: they wanted to create a united, equal and inclusive democratic society. However, there was no democratic culture to build upon, neither in their own country nor in the region.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

So seven Dutch political parties stepped up to provide support to the South African parties as they developed a new the democratic culture for their country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the South African parties worked together in the spirit of dialogue and consensus. This had such a positive effect on the level of trust and collaboration between them that Nelson Mandela strongly recommended that the Dutch political parties expand their work to other countries.<\/p>\n

And so, NIMD was established in 2000 by seven founding Dutch political parties.<\/p>\n

Our multiparty identity gives us the legitimacy and opportunity to work on an impartial basis with all political parties in a country and encourage dialogue between them.<\/p>\n

We work around the world, in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, the Dutch Caribbean, and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

founding political parties<\/h2>\n \n

NIMD maintains strong links with the Dutch political parties, one of the ways we do this is through the NIMD Advisory Council<\/a>. This Council is responsible for providing strategic advice to NIMD, and any political party with a seat in the Dutch Parliament can become a member.<\/p>\n

We value this connection with Dutch political parties, as an important nexus with the Dutch political sphere. Our Advisory Council members are in a position to keep NIMD informed of trends and opportunities, while promoting our work on a senior political level. What\u2019s more, our origins and continued ties with these parties \u2013 who hail from across the political spectrum \u2013 help to cement our non-partisan credentials.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n
