International Development Enterprises
iDE, formerly International Development Enterprises, is an international nonprofit organization which creates income and livelihood opportunities for poor rural households. iDE was founded in 1982 by Paul Polak, is devoted to the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of affordable, scalable micro-irrigation and low-cost water recovery systems throughout the developing world. iDE facilitates local manufacture and distribution of these products through local supply chains that sell to farmers at an affordable price which they can repay in one growing season. This strategy allows farmers to grow higher value and surplus crops, and in turn links them to high-value crop markets where they can realize profits from their higher yields.
iDE has funding affiliates in the United Kingdom, and Canada. The head office is located in Denver, United States.
== Overview ==
iDE is an international consortium of non-profit organizations dedicated to creating an enabling environment for poor rural households to participate effectively in rural market systems so they may increase their income and begin an upward spiral out of poverty. For more than 30 years, it has focused on creating innovative solutions to development problems, whether it is through products, services, or business models. Three-quarters of people living in extreme poverty earn their living from small farms, so it helps poor rural farmers increase their agricultural productivity. In water and sanitation, iDE helps develop sustainable businesses to supply latrines and water filters to low-income households in a manner that allows for the generation of profit along the supply chain while maintaining a price appropriate for poor households. iDE measures its success with three key figures: average income gain per household (impact), number of farmers reached (scale) and total additional income generated per dollar (cost effectiveness). For every $1 invested in its projects, iDE customers generate on average $10 in additional household income, a cost effectiveness ratio of 10:1.
iDE currently operates country programs in Nepal, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Vietnam, Zambia, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mozambique, Burkina Faso, Nicaragua and Honduras. The organization employs nearly 600 total staff worldwide and had budget of $20 million in 2011. With funding from more than 110 donors, including USAID, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, SDC, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, CIDA, DFID, and the World Bank, iDE has implemented more than 275 projects worldwide.
