iDev-Africa is a social enterprise that supports Africa’s development community, and locally-led projects.
By placing people at the center of interventions, we believe solutions will be more community-led and transformative while strengthening local dynamics and institutions.
Vision
To be a leading source of ideas, strategic support, knowledge, and locally owned and developed solutions for Africa's development
Mission
iDev Africa’s mission is to be a dependable source for African-owned solutions to Africa’s complex problems. We hope to achieve this by addressing information asymmetry, skill development, and network, necessary to improve the lives and livelihood of its people and communities.
Our Values
Community Centered
The core of iDev Africa’s mission is the community. Our staff and project beneficiaries must feel included and respected. Respectful engagement is fundamental in iDev Africa’s approach.
Ethical Business
We will not compromise as a non-profit business and will uphold at all times, in every condition, transparency and accountability.
Lifelong Learning
We know that problems evolve and solutions most times are not linear. Hence, we acknowledge that learning is constant and to learn, mistakes will be made. iDev Africa undertakes a rigorous process of problem diagnostics and solutions, however, we create an atmosphere for iteration and learning. Hence, while we remain efficient, we learn from mistakes and ensure to never repeat them.
Respect
for all irrespective of race, sex, sexual preference or religious affilitation
