Since the Stockholm Founding Conference in 1995, International IDEA has worked to deliver policy-relevant knowledge, capacity development, advocacy and dialogue facilitation to advance and protect sustainable democracy globally. Over the years, the Institute has expanded in size and influence, now comprising 35 Member States from all regions, two Observer States, 20 offices in the Global South and North, and countless projects, while remaining the leading intergovernmental organization dedicated to supporting democracy worldwide.
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, International IDEA will host a series of events and activities across different regions and teams including a High-Level Dialogue in South Africa, events on the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York, and an Anniversary Week from 9–13 June in Stockholm.
