iDE is an international social enterprise unleashing the power of innovation and market forces for poor rural households in the developing world , helping them access the tools and knowledge they need to increase their income. For over 28 years, iDE has continued to develop its market-based approach by designing affordable tools, improving market access, increasing agricultural production, and creating sustainable local businesses. To date, iDE staff throughout the world have helped more than 20 million people lift themselves permanently out of poverty.

This group is intended for those with any interest in iDE's work in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. iDE posts periodic updates on the progress of our various projects here, but this group can also act as a forum for individuals and entities active in our issue areas.
