The Entrepreneurship Management and Development Foundation (IMED Foundation) is a non-profit organization registered with the Registrar of Societies in 2010. The Foundation was established by entrepreneurship and management professionals. The motivation was to contribute to bridging the glaring gap between the substantial natural resource endowment of the country and high levels of poverty using a two-pronged approach -  innovative economic empowerment models that simultaneously address the challenge of climate change, and change agency towards a conducive environment for innovation and entrepreneurship.
