iDE is a Denver-based international development organization that has been empowering entrepreneurs to end poverty for over 40 years. They work in ten countries across Africa, Asia, and Central America, focusing on building resilient market ecosystems. Through their innovative approach, iDE provides climate-smart technology, business knowledge, access to finance, and connections to market ecosystems, enabling entrepreneurs to flourish and communities to thrive. Their goal is to achieve a 10-fold return on investment, ensuring that every dollar donated results in at least $10 in increased incomes for individuals striving to improve their standard of living.
iDE's work spans various sectors, including agriculture, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), gender equity, and climate resilience. They leverage technologies, supply chains, and market ecosystems to increase agricultural productivity and economic returns for subsistence farmers. Additionally, iDE addresses the lack of clean water and promotes personal hygiene through affordable solutions driven by market demand. By focusing on women as customers and entrepreneurs, they strengthen their participation in rural value chains and provide access to technology, know-how, finance, and markets. iDE also helps communities build resilience to climate extremes through the use of water-saving and climate-smart agricultural technologies and practices. With their presence in ten countries, iDE's teams are deeply rooted in the provinces, districts, and villages where they work, making a tangible impact on the lives of individuals and communities.
