IDE - Initiatives for Development and Education

IDE: Initiatives for Development and Education is a research-to-action non-governmental organization established in 2019 as a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act 1963 (Act 179) of Ghana. IDE Ghana focuses on promoting the sustainable use and management of natural resources, environmental conservation, and human rights advocacy.

Our mission is to empower local people and communities to initiate and lead discussions and actions on environmental sustainability, climate change, and human rights policies at both local and national levels. We aim to equip young people with the knowledge and skills necessary for environmental sustainability, climate action, and human rights advocacy, preparing them to become effective stewards and policymakers.

At IDE Ghana, we believe that a network of educated, empowered, and engaged communities have the potential to address local and national challenges related to the environment, climate change, and human rights. Our goal is to equip local people, especially women and youth to contribute effectively towards environmental sustainability and human rights.
