Building Our Organizational Intelligence

Our mission at IDE is to create income opportunities for poor rural households. In order to do this well, we need access to timely, reliable, and relevant information that drives:

innovation

We need the tools to help us design products and services that respond to needs in particular markets.

and...

Quality

We need the tools that help us track our process and impact, which pushes us to achieve better results.

IDE's iQ team is committed to delivering the right information in the right form at the right time to staff, our board, supporters, and the public. Wherever we work, we measure and seek to maximize the following three outcomes:

1. Impact

   The average income gain per household

2. Scale

   The number of farmers we reach

3. Cost Effectiveness

   The total additional farmer income generated per dollar spent across IDE

We track key performance indicators on each project, using an interactive dashboard that displays relevant project data in an easily accessible format. We dig deeper to understand the impact of our work through case studies, and we listen more carefully to farmers by using innovative customer feedback techniques.

Watch this page for updates to our iQ system which will allow you to track our progress interactively.
