Institut d'étude du développement international (ISID)

ISID works to improve people’s lives through cutting edge research, training and communication intended to accelerate global sustainable development. It does this by educating successive generations of socially responsible and politically engaged students, developing intellectual capacity, and conducting leading edge research that is relevant for policymaking.

Equally important, ISID is committed to connecting our teaching and research with the decision makers and principal actors tackling today’s most pressing issues by supporting and engaging with NGOs, governments, community organizations, private sector actors, and civil society more broadly, working to increase our collective capacity for achieving sustainable development that will lead to economic and social improvements across the globe. Through our public events and our policy of full open-access publications, ISID strives to become a global platform for informing the general public about the changing nature of development challenges and their potential solutions.
