30 Years of Supporting Democracy at International IDEA

The pursuit of democracy requires unwavering dedication and the collective effort of individuals who believe in the power of their voices. Each initiative we advocate for and each dialogue for change is a step in International IDEA’s path towards contributing to better and stronger democracies.
Together, we can build resilient democratic institutions, foster inclusive participation, and nurture the aspirations of communities everywhere. This anniversary is a testament to our ongoing commitment and a call to action for all who share our vision.
