  • Amazing content on issues that matter

    If makes me feel good having worked in development sector for more than 10 years that for reading on issues I was not getting any particular platform but IDR covers many important aspects of the social sector and collaborators are contributing at large to the platform . This new initiative of bringing the voice of experts through a podcast is also an welcome step .
