Social and Enterprise Development Innovations (SEDI – now Prosper Canada): Individual Development Accounts (IDA) Program

IDAs assist low income individuals in saving for education, training or housing. Canada sponsored the world’s largest a national demonstration project of IDAs for training and education. Eko Nomos worked on three projects related to the research, design and implementation of that demonstration project.

  • Research of asset-based social policy in Canada on behalf of Social and Enterprise Development Innovations (SEDI)
  • IDA program design and curriculum development with a demonstration program through Women and Rural Economic Development (WRED)
  • Toronto IDA Consortium partnership research and support on behalf of SEDI to contribute to a feasibility assessment for a national IDA demonstration.
