- Authors
Molden, David; Verma, Ritu; Sharma, Eklabya
- Abstract
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) believes in a future where the mountain people of the Hindu Kush-Himalayas can experience enhanced livelihoods, equity, and social and environmental security; where they can adapt to environmental, socioeconomic, and climate change; and where future generations of mountain and downstream populations can enjoy the benefits and opportunities afforded by the region's natural endowment. ICIMOD is an intergovernmental center that develops and shares information and knowledge, facilitates learning, and uses innovation and effective communication to empower its eight regional member countries-Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan-and the women, men, and children living there. ICIMOD believes that interventions are most successful when they take into account the points of view of everyone in society, regardless of gender, caste, or ethnicity. Inclusiveness is the hallmark of ICIMOD's work.
