Background

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) is a regional intergovernmental learning and knowledge sharing centre serving the eight regional member countries of the Hindu Kush Himalayas (HKH) – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan. Mountains are one of the important global ecosystems facing the most rapid socioeconomic and environmental changes. Our aim is to influence policy and practices to meet the associated and emerging challenges in the HKH region. To do this we bring together top researchers from the region and around the globe to generate and disseminate state-of-the-art scientific (physical and social) and traditional knowledge for evidence-based decision making; and we provide a neutral meeting platform for transboundary research, knowledge sharing and collaboration. Working across three main programme areas – integrated water and hazard management; environmental change and ecosystem services; and sustainable livelihoods and poverty reduction and supported by integrated knowledge management and geoinformatic tools – we seek to improve the lives and livelihoods of mountain women and men, now and for the future.
