INSTITUTIONAL OVERVIEW
The International Institute for Development Studies (IIDS) is a professional graduate institute dedicated to advancing evidence‑based development practice, institutional reform, and policy innovation. Founded to bridge the gap between academic research and real‑world development challenges, IIDS offers graduate education, applied research, and executive training to students, practitioners, and policymakers across the globe.
IIDS operates as an independent, mission‑driven institution with a strong commitment to academic excellence, ethical leadership, and global engagement. The institute maintains partnerships with universities, think tanks, development agencies, and government institutions to ensure its programs remain relevant, rigorous, and internationally competitive.
International Institute for Development Studies is a non-profit registered with the United States Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)3 organization. Our primary objective is to provide the necessary information for building a knowledge-based economy. We believe that a single action can make a difference in the community, and that collective action can greatly impact the world. Through data collection, research, advocacy and outreach activities, our team works tirelessly each day to contribute their part to the greater good of society. We provide educational materials/opportunities to individuals and institutions around the world.
With this initiative, our goal is to promote greater opportunities for those in need. With access to the right resources, people can become empowered by their own abilities and gain the confidence to fulfill their potential. Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.
