INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ENTERPRISES (UK) 

iDE UK has a mission to create income and livelihood opportunities for the rural poor. iDE has pioneered a market-based approach, employing business principles to facilitate market systems in which the rural poor can participate effectively as micro-entrepreneurs. In this way, iDE helps poor rural households lift themselves out of poverty.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker recently
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

  • Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 23 years
