S3IDF is an international development organization that builds inclusive market systems to promote equitable economic and social development. Our work positively impacts poor and underserved communities, strengthens local economies, and contributes to changes in mindsets and processes within international development systems.
In our projects and programs, we support entrepreneurs to run businesses that generate income while also providing their communities with basic services and employment opportunities. We take a “systems-level” approach to mobilize local bank financing, increase technology options, and deliver direct business support.
Through our advisory services, we build the knowledge and capacity of public and private entities to create and implement inclusive business models and development strategies.
