The Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy (NIMD) is a democracy assistance organisation of political parties in The Netherlands for political parties in young democracies. Founded in 2000 by seven parties across the political spectrum (CDA, PvdA, VVD, GroenLinks, Democrats 66, Christen Unie and SGP), NIMD currently works with more than 150 political parties from about 20 countries in Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Eastern Europe.

NIMD supports dialogues of political parties to improve the democratic system in their country. NIMD also supports the institutional development of political parties, helping them develop party programmes and assisting them in their efforts to enhance relations with civil society organizations and the media.
