NDI has been working in Indonesia since early 1996 when the Institute began assisting the Independent Election Monitoring Committee (Komite Independent Pemantau Pemilu, KIPP), the country's first formal independent election monitoring organization, in its efforts to monitor the May 1997 parliamentary elections. After the fall of President Soeharto in 1998, NDI engaged with political parties and domestic election monitoring organizations in preparation for the June 1999 elections. NDI and the Carter Center organized a joint delegation of 100 observers to the June elections. Since then, NDI has conducted extensive programs involving political parties, legislators and civil society organizations to assist in the country's democratic consolidation.
Currently, NDI is conducting a series of programs to support the development of transparent, accountable and inclusive electoral and political processes in Indonesia leading up to the 2004 elections.
