We work with local communities, democracy practitioners and partner organizations all over the world. We have global reach with our headquarters located in Stockholm and offices in 18 countries.
Our mission is to support sustainable democracy worldwide. We do this by producing and sharing comparative knowledge on the different aspects of democracy and by acting as a facilitator for the exchange of ideas and experiences on democracy. We use this knowledge to support democratic initiatives in different regions of the world and to champion for democracy in the United Nations and the European Union.
Our work in supporting democracy in Africa and West Asia involves contributions from across all of our initiatives.
Our regional presence has grown from a country programme in Nepal to include offices in Australia and Myanmar.
In Latin America and the Caribbean we work with democratic institutions to increase the effectiveness and legitimacy of democratic reforms and to supporting gender equality in politics.
The Regional Europe Programme aims to reconnect political parties and citizens in the region through offices in the Hague and in Brussels. At its liaison office to the European Union, International IDEA champions sustainable democracy before the European Union institutions, the Council of Europe and the Belgian Government.
The Office of the Permanent Observer for International IDEA to the United Nations promotes partnerships, multilateral dialogue and UN policies that advance democracy.
