"One of my favourite things about NDI is that it is contributing to the quality education of young people regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion and region. Quality education is the best way for nation building and NDI delivers education with vibrancy and dynamism. I hope the NCS grows into an accredited university in the future."

"NDI is a courageous organisation, with a good strategy of moving from language training and capacity building back in 2009 to civic education and political commitment in 2019. But what impresses me the most is NDI’s ability to renew and rotate excellent young leaders, proving that the organisation is broader than any individual leaders, which is a main indicator of democratic mindset."
