The Institute for African Development, Democracy and Sovereignty, Inc. (IADDS) is an independent, non partisan policy institute aimed at initiating practical solutions to Africa's developmental crisis.
Through education, research, and policy analysis hopes to be a catalyst for developing the human and material potential of Africans.
The organization challenges policies that have led to the stagnation of Africa’s development and offers alternative strategies towards continental self sufficiency, self determination and proper self governance. It is our belief that for a continent that hold massive resources, Africa should have been much further in its infrastructural development, democratization and self-determination.
We continually invite papers and view on various relevant and current issues and hope to build a cadre of new vibrant and well-rounded leaders from both the Diaspora and local institutional framework.
As part of an ongoing effort to support African organizations, plans to extended its fiscal sponsorship to an institutional of higher learning in Africa. We hope to announce this sponsorship in the coming years.
