InDev’s goal is to help enhance the International Development ecosystem in our region. Our hope is to provide opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing and understanding that is relevant to your work, in a form that is quick and easy to understand and use.
One of the key steps in supporting and growing an ecosystem that creates impact is to understand who is involved in the ecosystem. Often, many of us are familiar with the areas that we connect with most, NGOs, Contractors, and academia, and may not see the massive impact, career opportunities or learnings that can come from across the whole ecosystem.
InDev seeks to grow and support the whole Global Development ecosystem in this region, and to achieve this goal, we have set out to better map and understand the ecosystem and everyone involved in global development. In our first step, we are releasing our Version 1 of the InDev Australian Development Sector Map.
The map has been created to showcase many of the organisations involved in Global Development in Australia. The InDev team has sorted based on size, impact and primary focus area across each organisation, and limited to those with larger revenue or size in order to fit into one page.
This map is the first step in a growing effort to highlight and showcase the incredible work being delivered across the ecosystem. By sharing insights into the many organisations engaged in the ecosystem, we hope that there may be greater opportunities for collaboration across sectors, more mobility in employment across the sectors, and a greater awareness and profile of development across the country.
Help us improve the map:
But we know there are many organisations that have not been included. While we have done extensive work to build this map, we also know that it is not complete. So we welcome input from everyone to continue building the map.
If you would like to add your organisation or one that you are aware of, please add it to the form here –https://airtable.com/shr1rmn9AcSa8hRG1
As we progress, we hope to develop similar maps for other countries in the region, add funding/revenue insights and provide filterable options for sector and city-based insights.
Thank you
Lastly, a huge thank you to InDev’s intern extraordinaire, Jasmine, who led the development and research for this map!
