Promoting social entrepreneurship to foster sustainable social and economic integration for precarious communities.

Created in 1999 and based in Geneva, the International Foundation for Population and Development (IFPD) is recognized as a not-for-profit organization.

Our primary mission is to contribute to the autonomy of vulnerable people by implementing vocational training and entrepreneurship programs.

In collaboration with local NGOs and private, public, and academic actors, we operate in India, Nepal, Brazil, and Switzerland.
