iDE is an international NGO dedicated to powering entrepreneurs to end poverty. Based in Denver, USA, we focus on agriculture and food security, climate and the environment, entrepreneurship, gender and social inclusion, resilience, and WASH. Our work stands out in the international development sector because we do not simply give handouts; instead, we build robust market ecosystems that are financially competitive, resilient to changing climate, and inclusive of marginalized people. Given access to affordable technologies, market links, and finance, iDE has shown that entrepreneurs can lift themselves out of poverty and become change agents in their communities.

Founded in 1982, and with operations in 10 countries, iDE has made an impact in the lives of nearly 37 million people, providing access to markets, boosting incomes, and improving wellbeing. By listening to every stakeholder, including producers, suppliers, retailers, and customers, iDE designs programs that overcome critical bottlenecks and develop lasting solutions. We employ more than 1,300 staff globally, 96 percent of whom are nationals or field based.
