The John Fru Ndi Institute for Democracy (FNID) is committed to fostering peaceful, just, and inclusive democracies worldwide.
We believe that democracy flourishes when every voice is heard, and all groups have equal opportunities to participate in their country’s political life.
Our democracy support programs are built on this fundamental belief, as we strive to dismantle systemic and structural barriers to political participation.
A key aspect of our work is bridging divides by bringing people together. We encourage trust, collaboration, and respectful dialogue among politicians, political parties, civil society, and citizens.
By offering support across five key thematic areas, we equip political actors with the tools they need to work together constructively on issues affecting them, their nation, and the broader region. We help them engage with citizens and truly listen to their needs, creating a more inclusive and responsive political environment.
