The Centre for Innovating Development (CIDE) is a registered non-profit organization dedicated
to devising and piloting innovative solutions to address development challenges in the global
south. Our primary focus centers on under-explored communities that lack access to essential
resources and opportunities, consequently constraining their civic participation and skills
development.
At CIDE, we firmly believe that innovation is the cornerstone of fostering positive
and sustainable change for both people and the planet. We leverage our collective skills and
experience working within the contexts to design and implement solutions tailored to the specific
needs of our constituents. We also actively collaborate with other organizations, experts, and
communities to share and scale innovative initiatives.
CIDE employs a modern approach that incorporates media, arts, and culture to accomplish its
objectives, with a particular emphasis on enhancing participation among women and youth. Our
aim is to stimulate a demand for creativity and innovation, leading to the exploration and resolution
of often-overlooked issues.
