The vision, mission, and core values of the Busia Institute for Rural and Democratic Development (BIRDD) align closely with a number of international institutions that share centre-right ideals, particularly those promoting democratic governance, civic responsibility, and values-based leadership. In keeping with this alignment, BIRDD engages actively in global policy and leadership networks. Notably, in 2025, the Executive Director of the Institute represented BIRDD at the International Democrat Union (IDU) Forum held in Brussels, Belgium, affirming the Institute’s growing international presence and commitment to transnational dialogue on democratic development.
