IESC is a leading U.S. nonprofit organization that catalyzes private sector growth and creates economic opportunity for people and communities. Since 1964, we have delivered lasting solutions across 139 countries.

Today we achieve our mission primarily through the efforts of long-term staff, who are principally from the countries where we work. We also partner with local organizations to ensure our impact will endure. These efforts are supported by our home office staff in Washington, DC, consultants, select and dedicated volunteer experts, as well as select international partners.
