The primary objective of NDF is centered on playing the role of a bipartisan, vibrant and independent organization for the greater good – empowerment of democracy. Whether it is electoral reforms at legislative, management, and administrative level; nation-building; training and capacity-building campaigns of voters and nominees; awareness campaigns regarding the importance and power of vote; NDF will educate the masses so they can exercise their right to vote for their choice of candidate.

Our dedicated objectives are to;

• Promote and implement the concept of open, resilient, and democratic societies.
• Bolster support for democracy, human rights and governance: We will continue to invest in democracy, human rights and governance initiatives, and capacity-building as a strategic priority.
• Strengthen civil society: We will devote our efforts to empower civil society, and push back expanding restraints on freedom of association and assembly.
• Capture and communicate lessons learned: We will increase our capacity to monitor and evaluate our work and share the knowledge earned from lessons learned.
• Foster the infrastructure of democracy, the system of a free press, unions, political parties, and universities. We will empower people to choose their own way, develop their own culture, and reconcile their own differences through peaceful means.
• Maintain long-term meaningful relationships with political parties, civil society organizations and political activists.

As a mission driven organization, we differ from many development actors by;

• Promoting meaningful participation of all citizens in the political systems including women, youth and other traditionally marginalized groups.
• Harnessing the comparative advantages of media and technology to promote citizen understanding and engagement for transparent and political competition.
• Supporting meaningful transition processes that establish positive precedents for effective democratic governance.
• Promoting the integrity of elections as the only sustainable vehicle for governance.
• Facilitating the ability of elected political officials to fulfil their responsibilities towards citizens and the country by applying better-governance practices.
• Promoting a competitive and representative multi-party political system.
• Ensuring the application of impartial legal frameworks and compliance by political leaders.
• Bridging the gap and maintaining close coordination between government and citizens making it a responsive, transparent, and effective institution.
