Every Voice. Every Idea. One Zambia.

Ideas for Development (IFD) is a citizen-driven platform empowering Zambians to shape the nation’s future through open dialogue, innovation, and action.

Founded in response to the growing call for meaningful citizen participation, IFD believes that development begins when every Zambian — from the market to the university, from the village to the city — has a space to be heard. We connect people, especially youth and women, to share ideas, discuss national issues, and take collective action for a stronger, more inclusive Zambia.
