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

About us
iDE is a global development organization that co-creates with foundations, governments, individuals, for-profits, and nonprofits to develop lasting solutions to poverty. We design and deliver market-based solutions in Agriculture and WASH in 11 countries across Asia, Africa, and Central America. Much more than a collection of technologies and field offices, we are a globally integrated ecosystem of nearly 1,000 staff, passionate about innovation and entrepreneurism. The bottom line is improving the lives of our clients: the rural farmers and small businesses that are among the world’s poorest. The impact we report is rooted in reality and the data is readily available to anyone. This is our method of ensuring that the investments—in money and in time—made by our donors, the rural entrepreneurs we are working with, the customers they are serving, and our staff are having real impact.

Temos o prazer de anunciar que Elizabeth Welch, a Directora Executiva da iDE, está de visita a Moçambique para testemunhar o incrível impacto dos nossos vários projectos em primeira mão. Elizabeth, ou Lizz como carinhosamente a chamamos, começou a sua viagem em Maputo com uma receção calorosa da equipa de Maputo. A visita começou com uma sessão de conversa “à lareira” onde a Lizz e a equipa teve uma discussão envolvente e íntima, permitindo que todos a conhecessem a um nível pessoal e falassem sobre o futuro da iDE. Durante a sua visita, Lizz estará envolvida com os nossos projectos em todo o país e participará em reuniões importantes para promover a nossa missão e visão. Fique atento para mais actualizações sobre a viagem da Lizz através de Moçambique!
