Foundation for Inclusive Development (FID) - Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives

Organizational Overview

The Foundation for Inclusive Development (FID) is a women-led, South Sudanese nongovernmental, non-political, and non-profit organization committed to advancing inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development.

FID delivers integrated, community-driven programs with a strategic focus on Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) as its core sector, reinforced by complementary interventions in WASH, Health & Nutrition, and social development sectors.

As a women-led organization, FID champions gender equality by ensuring that women and girls are not only beneficiaries but active leaders and decision-makers in development processes.

Through locally grounded and evidence-based approaches, FID strengthens resilience, improves living conditions, and empowers vulnerable populations across South Sudan.

Our Approach

FID works through community-driven and participatory approaches, ensuring that local communities are at the center of planning, implementation, and ownership of development interventions. We believe that meaningful and lasting change can only be achieved when people are empowered to shape their own futures.

Guided by the principles of integrity, inclusion, accountability, compassion, and sustainability, FID delivers integrated programs across key sectors such as food security and livelihoods, health and nutrition, education, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), emergency shelter, peace building, environmental protection, child protection, and women and youth empowerment
