The International Design Alliance (IDA) is a strategic venture between
the international organisations representing design. The alliance was
created by founding partners Icsid (International Council of Societies of Industrial Design) and Icograda
(International Council of Graphic Design Associations) and ratified by
their respective General Assemblies in September 2003. In September
2008, the IDA welcomed the IFI (International Federation of Interior Architects/Designers) to the alliance as the third partner.
The alliance is based on the desire of its partners to "do together what they cannot do alone." Concentrating on opportunities arising from multidisciplinary collaboration, the IDA is positioned as the design advocate working with international organisations, governments and industry.
