iDE (International Development Enterprises)

Today, we honor the resilience and innovation of Micro-, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs) around the world. At iDE, we're dedicated to empowering these enterprises through market-based solutions that drive economic growth and uplift communities. By supporting MSMEs, we create jobs, boost local economies, and foster sustainable development. Notably, women own about one-third of small business globally, highlighting the critical role of gender equity in economic growth! Let's continue to champion these vital businesses and the incredibly dedicated entrepreneurs behind them! #iDE #ChangeNotCharity #MSMEsDay #EmpowerEntrepreneurs #EconomicGrowth #SustainableDevelopment
