NIMD’s work matters. Not just in the countries we work in, but all around the world.
Attacks on democracy endanger us all. Undermining democratic principles and institutions fuels division and conflict.
And national instability so often cascades into global instability, damaging business interests, disrupting supply chains and intensifying migration pressures.
By tackling these global challenges at their roots, NIMD strives to pave the way toward a world of peace, inclusion, justice and sustainability. An endeavour which is not only necessary, but essential for the prosperity and security of future generations.
