Movendi International

Movendi International is the international body with temperance organisations in 63 countries as members. It traces its roots to the fraternal temperance organisation the Independent Order of Good Templars (IOGT; later known as the International Organisation of Good Templars) and promotes abstinence from alcohol and other drugs.

It describes itself as "the premier global interlocutor for evidence-based policy measures and community-based interventions to prevent and reduce harm caused by alcohol and other drugs." It claims to be the largest worldwide community of non-governmental organisations with a mission to independently enlighten people around the world on a lifestyle free from alcohol and other drugs.

Founded in 1851, Movendi International works to promote the avoidance of alcohol and other drugs by supporting communities and societies around the world. Its constitution say this will lead to the liberation of peoples of the world, this leading to a richer, freer and more rewarding life. The headquarters of Movendi International is in Stockholm.
