International Development Economics Associates
IDEAs "was established in September, 2001, following a conference in Cape Town, South Africa, on 'Rethinking Development Economics' organised by UNRISD with the support of Ford Foundation. The current Executive Committee was chosen at that conference, with the mandate to establish and build the IDEAs network. With financial support from UNRISD, a secretariat was set up in New Delhi in October 2001. For ease of financial transactions, IDEAs was formally registered in London, U.K., as a charitable friendly society in August 2002." [1]
