The Doha International Institute

The Doha International Institute for Family Studies and Development (DIIFSD) is an interdisciplinary research, policy and community outreach organization established to strengthen the family as the natural and fundamental group unit of society. DIIFSD accomplishes this mission through the mutually supportive efforts of three operating divisions:

• Family Policy Division
• Family Research Division
• Implementation and Social Outreach Division

Reaffirming Article 16 (3) of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, the Doha Declaration on the Family states "that the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to the widest possible protection and assistance by society and the State".
