Collaborative, Evidence-Based, and Community-Driven strategies that create sustainable impact and empower communities across Kenya.
At LIDA, we prioritize sustainable development solutions informed by evidence and shaped by community needs. Our approach ensures measurable impact, long-term resilience, and local capacity building.
We believe that effective development work must be collaborative, evidence-based, and community-driven. By working closely with local communities and partners, we create solutions that address the root causes of challenges and build lasting resilience.
Our six-pillar approach guides all our programs and initiatives, ensuring that we deliver meaningful and sustainable impact in every community we serve.
Our six-pillar approach to sustainable development
We collaborate with government agencies, community leaders, local NGOs, and international partners to align our programs with national priorities like Kenya's Universal and international partners to align our programs with national priorities like Kenya's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and Vision 2030. These partnerships enhance the effectiveness of our programs, creating holistic solutions.
Our programs empower communities to lead their own development, ensuring cultural relevance and sustainability. By involving communities in every phase—planning, implementation, and evaluation—we foster local ownership and lasting change.
Our initiatives are driven by data and research, tailoring interventions to the unique needs of each area. This evidence-based approach ensures our programs are effective and adaptable to local challenges.
We address interconnected development challenges by integrating multiple sectors. For instance, our water programs support health initiatives, and our agriculture efforts are tied to nutrition education, ensuring more comprehensive outcomes.
We build the capacity of local communities and institutions through training and mentorship, ensuring that the benefits of our programs continue after our involvement ends. This approach promotes self-reliant communities capable of managing their own development.
We continuously monitor and evaluate our programs, using data to assess progress and adapt strategies. This feedback loop ensures we remain responsive to evolving community needs and fosters transparency with stakeholders.
Join us in our mission to create sustainable, community-driven solutions that empower vulnerable populations across Kenya. Together, we can build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.
