International NGO Forum on Indonesian Development (INFID) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1985 under the name INGI (Inter-NGO Conference o­n IGGI Matters). INFID was established at the initiative of several prominent figures such as Gus Dur, Asmara Nababan, Gaffar Rahman, Adnan Buyung Nasution, Dawam Rahardjo, Fauzi Abdullah, Wukirsari, Kartjono, and Zoemrotin KS, as well as civil society organizations in Indonesia and their partners in the Netherlands, and many others, for conducting policy advocacy efforts at the international and national level on development issues and democratization in Indonesia.

In 2004, INFID gained consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. INFID currently focuses on three areas: Reducing Inequality, Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and Human Rights and Democracy. Together with 88 members dispersed across Indonesia, INFID initiates policy studies, monitoring and advocacy.
