Overview
The NDI Web site is a vehicle for the sharing the past and current efforts of NDI and its partners to strengthen and expand democracy worldwide. On its pages you will find general information about the Institute, our programmatic focus, and the ways in which we work to support the growth of democracy. In addition, we have developed an online repository of democracy practitioner resource materials, Access Democracy. This is an unusual collection of reports, training manuals, assessments, country information, organizational links, to name a few, gathered and produced by the Institute, our partners, and others, to provide an internationally accessible information resource for the work of promoting and enhancing democracy globally.
We make every effort to keep the site as up to date as possible (and the expansion of the Access Democracy collection is ongoing). However, if you need additional information on a specific program or country, please do not hesitate to use the contact information listed, or visit our Contact NDI or Feedback pages to make your request via the Web site.
