About Us

Who We Are

GIDS is a Zambian-led institution dedicated to strengthening locally-led partnerships between communities, cooperatives, enterprises, grassroots initiatives, and catalytic partners, including corporates, philanthropies, and development agencies.

We help both local organizations and funders achieve their goals by enabling effective, sustainable, and mutually beneficial collaborations.

We combine global standards with a deep understanding of Zambia’s development landscape — ensuring that every partnership we support is impactful, inclusive, and built to last.

Our team of seasoned professionals brings decades of experience managing large-scale programs with international partners such as the United States Government, European Union, GIZ, USAID, FCDO, JICA, World Bank, UN agencies, and Sweden. 

Our Vision

To lead a new era of collaboration where local and catalytic partners work together to create sustainable, high-impact solutions that put communities first.

Our Mission

To bridge the gap between local realities and global ambitions through trusted partnerships that deliver measurable lasting impact.

We do this by combining deep local knowledge with innovative tools, from data analytics to digital storytelling, that enhance learning, accountability, and results.
