The International Development Institute-Africa (IDIA) started in 2002 as Africa Health and Development (AHEAD) Management Services. Its original aim was to provide technical and consultancy services to various institutions in the fields of health and development, a mission that it has successfully carried out to date in about 25 countries in East, Central and Southern Africa. In 2008, the founders however started thinking about transforming AHEAD from a consultancy firm into a premier international learning and resource institution with primary focus on finding solutions to Africa’s problems of poor leadership, ill health, poverty and underdevelopment.
