The Namibia Institute for Democracy (NID) was established in 1991 in the belief that through the sharing of information and knowledge, the democratic landscape of Namibia could be strengthened. The institution which aligns with Section 21 of the Companies Act of 2008,  is an implementer of community development, civic education, socio-politics, voter education, gender mainstreaming, anti-corruption and political leadership training initiatives and research in Namibia. Loyal to the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia, the NID capacitates decision makers, party liaisons, civil society organizations, law enforcement agencies and traditional authorities on the need to protect the Constitution and the Human Rights instruments Namibia has signed to and reifies both locally and internationally. In being a member of the Access to Information Coalition (ACTION) and a founding member of the Civil Society Information Centre Namibia (CIVIC +264), the NID in its 33 years of operation has created and enabled longstanding partnerships with a wide range of development stakeholders, fostering functional synergies and sustainability. 
The NID is loyal to the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia, the State and its institutions. The NID zealously guards its political neutrality and objectivity. The NID is committed to the well being of the citizens of the Republic of Namibia and the promotion of the Republic of Namibia as a democratic state. 
Our mission statement is to promote and protect values and principles of multi-party democracy through education and nurture political tolerance and national reconciliation in Namibia.
