 Like the programs in the US funding for IDA programs in Sub Saharan Africa comes from government agencies, private companies and local charities.Much of this funding is directed towards Children's Development Accounts or CDA's, which are similar to IDA's except that they are meant to encourage savings and asset accumulation amongst children often since their birth.CDA's have especially taken root in this region where poverty and HIV/AIDS leave several of them orphaned and without resources.
