The National Congress for Democratic Initiative (French: Congrès national d’initiative démocratique or CNID; Bambara: Faso yiriwa ton) is a political party in Mali, founded in 1990 and led by Mountaga Tall.

In the first presidential election following the transition to democracy (see History of Mali), Mountaga Tali received 11.41% of votes and placed third.

In 1995, a group of militants led by Tiébilé Dramé left the CNID to start the Party for National Renewal (French: Parti pour la renaissance nationale, PARENA).

In 2002, Mountaga Tall received 3.77% in the first round of the presidential election. At the last legislative elections, 14 July 2002, the party won 13 out of 160 seats as a part of the Hope 2002 coalition.
