IDare for Sustainable Development (IDare)

What IDare for Sustainable Development (IDare) does

IDare for Sustainable Development is a non-governmental, not-for-profit social venture founded in October 2013 in Amman, Jordan. Its stated mission is to activate the potential of Jordanian youth for sustainable, positive societal transformation. The organization operates a portfolio of named programs — Shabab 2250, Tashgheel in CCI, Haki Sehi, Nibras, and the C-Hub Makerspace — alongside behavioral-change campaigns such as Online Love Speech, 100 Questions on Violence, and When My Country Is. Delivery is anchored in a proprietary A.C.T (Activation, Connection, Transformation) approach and a Theory of Change framework that integrates competency development, resource provision, and supportive-environment creation, positioning youth and IDare as two interlocking strands of a shared change process.

The underlying technology and product surface are not disclosed in the available source material; offerings are described as programs, campaigns, a physical makerspace, and a volunteer/community network (Daring Hub) rather than as a software platform. There is no API, no mobile app, no proprietary ML/data system, and no integration catalog referenced. Distribution is domestic-only — single country/regional scope centered on Jordan — using community engagement, the C-Hub Makerspace, and partner-amplified campaign channels.

The business model is a grant-funded non-profit revenue stream rather than commercial pricing. IDare is supported by funding and programmatic alliances with Oxfam, UNDP Jordan, the European Union, Erasmus+, NOVACT, Google.org, and Drosos. Customer segmentation is a single persona: youth in Jordan seeking positive developmental pathways, with no enterprise or SMB commercial customers. The organization had approximately 31 employees and reports itself as operating, though ancillary properties (e.g., the blog at blog.i-dare.org) currently appear disabled.

Core offering

IDare is a non-governmental, not-for-profit social venture based in Amman, Jordan, that delivers positive youth development (PYD) programs and social-behavioral-change campaigns to activate youth potential for sustainable societal transformation. Its core offerings are structured around a Theory of Change integrating competency development, resource provision, and supportive environments, executed through named programs (Shabab 2250, Tashgheel in CCI, Haki Sehi, C-Hub Makerspace, Nibras) and campaigns (Online Love Speech, When My Country Is, 100 Questions on Violence).

Product overview

The core programs include Shabab 2250, Tashgheel in CCI, Haki Sehi, C-Hub Makerspace, and Nibras — each addressing different aspects of positive youth development through competency building, resource provision, and environmental support. These are complemented by behavioral change campaigns such as Online Love Speech and 100 Questions on Violence. The organization operates through a Theory of Change framework and an A.C.T. (Activation, Connection, Transformation) approach that positions youth and IDare as interdependent strands driving societal transformation.
