General Information
Founder is Abraham de Kruijf. IDA works as a network, has many relationships in The Netherlands, in Chile, Israel, Palestine, USA. In governments and NGO's. Like the network Volunteering for Peace, in the city of Hebron, Palestine/Westbank. We do projects, research, work on location in other countries. The societal activities abroad (Middle East) are payed from the income of the work. There is not yet a separate funding but this is necessary. There is not yet sufficient income in IDA or from other sources to be able to finance the projects.
Mission and Objectives

IDA Innovatie is specialist in change towards cooperation. In business and government organisations in The Netherlands. Clarifying and designing business and societal processes, coliving and coworking, inspired by and taking into account of making (your) values more explicit.
There are projects where values are included and also more traditional projects.
Next to this there are societal activities, see the next box Main projects/activities.
Final objective / purpose / motto: 1) To prevent unnecessary suffering. 2) It can be done! (Het kan wel!, Dutch posterorganisation Loesje.)

Main Projects / Activities

Activities for improving life circumstances:
a) working in Dutch organizations in business, government and NGO's.
b) In Chile we were in 2000-2001 the cofounder of Habitat for Humanity.
c) In Israel and Palestine we work with both governments, citizens, and NGO's to help to change towards peace. This project has three lines. 1) Concrete peace proposal for Israel and Palestinians, called "Peace will come why not now". 2) The project title we print on t-shirts and shawls and offer them to the people as well as the leaders for motivation also via the heart. 3) Clarifying the relationship of Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and the secular world. Through an inquiry form that brings people insight and helps to dissolve (pre)judices.
d) Societal / Humane Responsible Globalization (SRG), bottom up, for villages/cities, states, EU, and wider. This is an equivalent for governments who do not have a focus, like there is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for the business world. This has been launched in a conversation with Mr Barroso. EU and NL are not yet fully partnering.
e) further development of the content and the practice of democracy, internationally, since 1992.
