InDev Media delivers news, updates, jobs and events for the Global Development Sector in the Asia Pacific. As a unique offering within the global development sector, our vision is to enhance the sharing of critical knowledge, insights, and opportunities to create greater impact of development activities.
We focus on information which has an impact on working in the region, and tailor our offerings to what is needed. We believe that development is local, and while knowledge of global practice is important, it is at the regional, national and community levels which development occur.
InDev focuses on sharing information to grow and enhance the global development sector through succinct delivery, a local focus and impact focused curation.
Succinct Delivery
Sharing the information you need in a short format summary, with deeper resources available if interested. We know everyone is busy, so seek to provide the information you need so you can keep creating impact.
Local Focus
Information is focused on the region, rather than generic global trends. Providing tailored information often skipped by those aimed at global, or US/Euro audiences.
Impact Curation
We seek to provide information that is necessary for those in the global development sector. This can be industry activities, but also political actions in the region, evolving diplomacy, weather, economic, or any other area which has an impact on development.
Team
Our team draws from experts in the Global Development sector, communications and recruitment.
