History

IAD - International is an Ivorian non-governmental organization that was established after the civil and military crisis occurred in Ivory Coast in September 2002. Originally called NGO "Aidons les déplacés", it aims to provide an urgent response to support Internal Displaced Personns (IDPs) who fled their usual areas of residence because of fighting and security risks.

Since 2014, following the evolution of development issues and humanitarian emergencies in Cote d'Ivoire, and with its experience of over 10 years, the NGO has strengthened its areas of intervention and its portfolio of activities in order to further contribute significantly to improving the living conditions of populations, and a broader level in Sub-Saharian Africa (SSA).
