The Israel Democracy Institute, established in 1991 and located in Jerusalem, is an independent, non-partisan research and policy institute dedicated to enhancing democracy within Israel. Positioned at the intersection of politics and academia, the institute focuses on developing policies and reforming governance structures, public administration, and democratic institutions. Its mission is to strengthen the foundational values of democracy while addressing pressing societal challenges.

The institute's researchers conduct in-depth studies that lay the groundwork for practical democratic solutions, aiming to enhance government functionality and promote civic engagement amidst Israel’s diverse society. They actively contribute to public discourse by providing data-driven insights on national issues, suggesting structural, political, and economic reforms. The Israel Democracy Institute also serves as an advisory body to decision-makers and the broader community, fostering a knowledge-based public dialogue. Their efforts were recognized when they received the Israel Prize in 2009 for their significant contributions to society and the state, reflecting their commitment to a vibrant and inclusive democratic culture.
