Mission Statement
IPA | switxboard connects global resources with local needs. We are pioneering a technology-driven approach that works in cooperation with the traditional humanitarian relief industry, governments, the private sector, academia and regional, national, and local institutions to ensure those served by humanitarian aid have access to the full range of global resources that exist and the opportunity to take charge of their own destiny.
About This Cause
Innovation and Planning Agency (“IPA”) was developed out of Za’atari Refugee Camp in Jordan by founder Kilian Kleinschmidt during his time as Senior Field Coordinator for UNHCR. IPA facilitates the connection of services, expertise, infrastructure, information access to education, access to mental health services, access to employment, access to youth sports, and many other opportunities. This served as the impetus for switxboard, a global platform for matchmaking. Today, IPA | switxboard provides local communities with access to global resources. In contrast to the traditional top down logistics-driven international aid paradigm, IPA | switxboard follows the digital economy, taking bottom-up decentralized approach, driven by local needs and those who are the recipients of aid and international development funds.
