About IDEA

IDEA supports pioneering shifts in how international development is undertaken. Most fundamentally, we support meaningful communication with the ultimate clients of international development efforts to encourage them to express their aspirations and the outcomes they would like to see from donor programs. IDEA supports local program participants to become leaders. To achieve this, IDEA undertakes leader development activities, described below in this website, complementary to the activities of other organizations and individuals seeking to effect these kinds of shifts. Through these activities, IDEA can generate more effective development assistance outcomes. IDEA members are either international development practitioners or professionals bringing special insights applicable to this field.
