IDEE is a not-profit organization dedicated to the active promotion of democracy, civil society, and human rights in Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and other communist or post-communist countries. IDEE also seeks to share the experiences of democratic opposition and transformation in Eastern Europe with other countries and regions seeking democratic change.

 

IDEE began in 1986 as an extension of the Committee in Support of Solidarity, which had supported Poland's underground Solidarity movement since 1981. IDEE supported the growing underground opposition movements in the countries of Eastern Europe seeking democratic change and an end to communism. It provided direct financial and material assistance to independent publications and to human rights and opposition groups that were at the forefront of the 1989-91 revolutions. IDEE also provided a gateway for dissidents and semi-clandestine democratic movements to the West and for Western institutions and funders to the “East.”
