Pastoralist Initiative Development Aid (PIDA)

Pastoralist Initiative Development Aid's (PIDA) mission is to empower and enhance south-eastern Ethiopia pastoralist communities' resilience to poverty shocks, climate extremes, and their impacts through secured livelihoods, access to affordable quality education, and child and healthcare services. PIDA focuses on a holistic approach to advancing education in pastoralist communities by integrating multiple functions such as: education access and services; capacity building; advocacy and policy engagement; infrastructure development; research and innovation, and crisis response and humanitarian support.

One of their main objectives is to encourage and support local initiatives that enhance sustainable development through the adoption of cutting-edge technologies and approaches. PIDA promotes the use of local knowledge and experience as the building blocks for development activity. They consider careful research into socio-economic, cultural, technical, and environmental conditions as an essential prerequisite for successful investment.
