WHO WE ARE
IDHA is a nonprofit making Research and Development Organization, that works locally to transform lives by making development assistance more effective. IDHA works with organizations and individuals to build and rollout strategies that guarantee maximum results.
We got our start in March 2014 during the peak of the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone with a desire to bridge the gap in local capacity to respond and deliver adequate response and recovery initiatives. Our philosophy is to develop, test and scale innovative development and Disaster management strategies that ensure best value for money.
Since the IDHA inception, we have evolved into a Non-Governmental Organization that is dedicated to supporting local and sustainable initiatives in the area of Disaster Risk Reduction, Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security, Micro-Small and Medium Enterprise development. In 2022 IDHA has scaled up its operations in Liberia.
