About [Edit]
International Development Enterprises (IDE) is a non-profit organization that employs market principles to strike at the roots of rural poverty in the world's least developed countries. By taking advantage of market forces, IDE is able to have widespread impact using minimal resources.
In our programs worldwide, IDE helps create market conditions that enable the rural poor to become successful market participants. Concepts and practices usually associated with private business are applied to the problem of poverty as IDE works to:
1. Identify market opportunities that can be exploited by poor people
2. Develop technologies that the poor can use to generate income
3. Establish supply chains to deliver technologies to the poor at affordable prices
4. Conduct promotional campaigns to convince smallholders to invest in income-generating technologies
5. Establish linkages with output markets
6. Ensure that everyone in the market network, especially the smallholder, receives a fair profit
