Community Development Sector

Community Development Profile Overview
An attitude of transformational Community Development underpins all of IDEAS project work. Whether professional focus is on agriculture, business, education, or health, or in combination, IDEAS intends to see each project impact its host community with tangible transformation. Since our beginnings, IDEAS has also engaged multi-disciplinary community development projects in China, India, the Middle East, and North Africa.

-
Engaging and building a network for community development resources in knowledge, expertise, advisement, and funding.
-
Growing robust impact in project communities through community development applications.
