Company Description

The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) is a Canadian federal crown corporation that funds research in developing countries to promote growth and find local solutions to global problems. Established by an act of the Canadian Parliament in 1970, the center works with researchers and innovators in the Global South to build healthier, more equitable, and more prosperous societies. In Uganda and the wider East African region, IDRC plays a major role as a donor and knowledge partner, supporting local academic institutions and civil society organizations.
The organization’s funding strategy focuses heavily on climate-resilient food systems, global health, and inclusive governance. In practice, this involves supporting projects that help smallholder farmers adapt to shifting weather patterns, funding maternal and child health initiatives, and researching how digital technologies can create fair economic opportunities for youth. By providing both financial resources and technical guidance, the center empowers local experts to design policies and technologies tailored specifically to their communities’ unique socio-economic contexts.
A key principle of the center is its commitment to gender equality and social inclusion in all of its supported research. The organization actively prioritizes projects that dismantle barriers for women and marginalized groups, ensuring they are not just beneficiaries of development but leaders of change. Through its regional office for Eastern and Southern Africa, the center continuously monitors its active investments in Uganda, fostering long-term partnerships that turn rigorous field research into actionable national policies.
