iDE Ghana Job Vacancy Available

iDE is a non-government organization dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs to end poverty. Headquartered in Denver, Colorado, our global work within agriculture, sanitation, and gender equality, stands out in the international development sector because we don’t simply hand out money or supplies.

Instead, we believe in powering small-scale entrepreneurs and building robust market ecosystems that are financially competitive, resilient to changing climates, and inclusive of marginalized people. Given access to simple technology, market links and microfinance, iDE has demonstrated that entrepreneurs can lift themselves out of poverty and become change agents in their communities.

Founded in 1982, and with operations in 10 developing countries, iDE has made an impact in the lives of more than 35 million people, providing access to markets, boosting incomes and improving wellbeing. By listening to every stakeholder—producers, suppliers, retailers and customers—iDE designs programs that overcome critical bottlenecks and develop lasting solutions.

We employ over 1,200 staff globally, 96 percent of whom are nationals or field based. Our 2021 budget of $28.1 million includes funding from nearly 40 institutional donors, including USAID, SIDA, GAC, Unicef, DFAT, MFAT, EU, and SDC.
