IDE Ethiopia
Enabling Rural Prosperity
IDE was founded on the belief that the way to enable rural prosperity is to help small-plot farmers use their own resources to earn a profit. This is accomplished with a two-pronged strategy: providing these farmers with access to affordable irrigation technology, which allows them to grow high-value cash crops, and creating connections to markets, where they can sell their extra produce to generate income. Instead of handouts or subsidies, we focus on providing farmers with the products, training, and choices they need to earn increased profits from their land.
Established in July 2007, IDE Ethiopia is one of IDE's newest country programs. We are working to achieve IDE’s mission through a wide variety of activities throughout the country.
