Member States support International IDEA in new and diverse ways

At this crucial juncture for democracy around the world, it has become more important than ever that International IDEA’s Member States support the Institute financially, in accordance with its Statutes and their respective means. In 2023 a growing number of Member States demonstrated their commitment through new financial and in-kind contributions:

• The Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland recommitted to multi-year core funding agreements of EUR 12 million over six years, NOK 120 million (USD 11 million) over four years and EUR 3.3 million over four years, respectively. Finland committed to its first multi-year core funding agreement, and Luxembourg became a core funder for the first time. 
• Canada provided funding to hire the Institute’s first Head of Digitalization and Democracy, while Germany extended the secondment for the Institute’s inaugural Lead Advisor on Climate Change and Democracy. In addition to a core contribution of EUR 500,000 for 2024, France proposed providing a seconded expert to shape work on political participation and parliamentary cooperation. 
• As Vice-Chair of the Institute in 2023, Ghana convened a national seminar on disinformation, elections and peace that was co-hosted by and co-branded with International IDEA.
