National Democratic Foundation (NDF) is the first and only national NGO in its category licensed under section 42 of Companies Ordinance, 1984 by SECP Government of Pakistan, having the mandate to work dedicatedly on the growth and strengthening of democracy in Pakistan.It has flexibility that makes it possible to work in some of the most difficult circumstances, and to respond quickly when there is an opportunity for political change. NDF is dedicated to fostering the growth of a wide range of democratic institutions; including political parties, trade unions, free markets and business organizations, as well as the many elements of a vibrant civil society that ensure human rights, an independent media, and the rule of law.NDF is guided by the belief that freedom is a universal human aspiration that can be realized through the development of democratic institutions, procedures, and values. Democracy cannot be achieved through a single election and need not be based upon the model of Pakistan or any other particular country. Rather, it evolves according to the needs and traditions of diverse political cultures. By supporting this process, NDF helps strengthen the bond between indigenous democratic movements for the people of Pakistan — a bond based on a common commitment to the representative government and freedom as a way of life.From its beginning, NDF will remain steadfastly bipartisan. Created jointly by philanthropists and democrats, NDF operates with a high degree of transparency and accountability reflecting our founders' belief that democracy promotion should be conducted openly.Democracy involves the right of the people to freely determine their own destiny. The exercise of this right requires a system that guarantees freedom of expression, belief and association, free and competitive elections, respect for the inalienable rights of individuals and minorities, free communications media, and the rule of law.
